27 Jan (Re) tell the story of your life through movement and writing
Research is revealing how powerful it can be to alter the story we tell about our lives. The New York Times cites research that shows how re-writing the narrative of life events can help us confront truths, improve mood disorders and boost memory. At Write The Story of Your Life As You Walk It we combined writing with physical movement to help workshop participants clarify the direction they want to take in wellness, relationships or the workplace. The result was a new story about the past, a clear vision for the future, and an understanding of the key values that inform their choices. Critically, each walked away with a unique way to map the path as they go (so as to know how to know that they are walking in their right direction) and physical practices to support their journey.
