What is Storied Lives?

Storied Lives is a confidential group of four to six women who journey together over the course of six months. Through guided writing, intentional listening, and thoughtful discussion, participants explore the stories that have shaped their lives and consider how those stories continue to influence the present.

You do not need to be a writer. Each participant is given clear instructions for writing simple narrative stories based on specific memories. The focus is not on writing skill but on honest reflection and compassionate engagement.

Throughout the group, participants receive teaching that helps them understand how to listen to stories with honor, curiosity, and grace. Together, we seek to recognize God's presence within our stories and create space for healing, greater self-understanding, and deeper connection with Him and one another.

Group details

The group includes:

• One orientation meeting in November

• Three five-week sessions from January through May

• Two two-week breaks between sessions

• A closing banquet in May

Because trust and community are built over time, consistent attendance is essential. Participants are asked to miss no more than one meeting during the program.
