What story are you living? 

The stories we tell about ourselves and our lives shape the way we live, think, and dream. During this five-part memoir online workshop, you will take back your life by composting the tired and tame stories and seeding them with vibrant and resilient new shoots. As you untame your story, you will learn how wild and wondrous your life can be.  

Guided by Mary Reynolds Thompson, author of Reclaiming the Wild Soul: How Earth’s Landscapes Restore Us to Wholeness, you will discover a way of writing about your life that illuminates the deep mysteries of your soul and points you toward your unique destiny. Mary is an award-winning writer, facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, and a pioneer in the emerging field of spiritual ecology.   

In this online course, you will:

• Throw light on limiting patterns that keep us trapped
• Explore the role of your ancestors in your new story
• Discover the thread that you must never let go of
• Find your power place and animal totem
• Write, share and build community with others

Each session will be 90 minutes long and will offer up a minimum of two writing prompts. There will also be opportunities to share your stories and learn from each other. The work is creative, confidence-building, and allows for many different styles of writing techniques, from poetry to prose.
