RE-STORY CIRCLES

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
– Old African Proverb

Would you like to explore your life’s possibilities, discuss issues, share thoughts, be heard without judgment, and practice deep listening?

Are you looking for a way to have some time just for yourself and stay connected to others but with ease and without a huge time commitment?

A Re-Story Circle is the answer. A Re-Story Circle is a safe structure for group sharing, deep listening and conversation, and for generating ideas to re-story your life through writing prompts. It’s a place where you can feel nurtured, supported and empowered – in community.

Re-storying means looking at your life, your story, as it is currently constituted and reframing it. Journal writing is the tool we use to open up a dialogue with your Wise Voice, who could care less about your writing and more about you knowing who you already are.

The Circle Process will help you:

  • Create new possibilities
  • Remember what’s important
  • Remember to celebrate your life
  • Be a mess
  • Do what you can do
  • Do what you think you cannot do (credit: Michael Bungay Stanier, Coach)

Jeanne uses Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea’s Circle process (The Circle Way, A Leader in Every Chair), as the framework for her Re-Story Circles. The Circle is an energetic social container capable of helping a group draw on wellsprings of insight, information and story that inspire collective wisdom and action. Re-Story Circles rely on that social container of collective wisdom, but with the objective of inspiring individual growth through reframing of your life’s story using journal writing prompts and deep conversation.

Don’t want to live your life by default? Re-story it! Jeanne can’t re-story your life, but she knows you can.
