The Stories We Carry: Rediscovering personal strength through plática, healing & altar creation
ONLINE - June 13th 11am - 2pm CDT/ 9am -12pm PST
Stories of family. Stories of courage. Stories of struggle, faith, and identity. Our stories shape who we are.
The guided telling and sharing of stories can be deeply healing for individuals, families, and communities across generations. In this workshop plática, participants will explore the healing power of personal and family narratives and how these stories influence the ways we understand ourselves and move through the world.
Together, we will uncover the strengths, wisdom, and cultural values embedded within our stories—qualities that may have been forgotten, hidden, or left unnamed. Through reflection and dialogue, participants will learn ways to re-story painful experiences by reconnecting with the resilience and knowledge carried in our families and communities. This process invites us to re-member what has been forgotten and to make the invisible visible.
Drawing from Narrative Therapy and a Chicanx Psychology worldview, this workshop offers practical ways to reshape the stories we carry so they affirm our cultural identity, dignity, and legacies.
As the culminating experience, participants will transform the insights and strengths uncovered in their stories into the creation of a personal home altar or Wellness Altar —an intentional space of reflection, healing, and wellness that honors their stories, ancestors, and aspirations.
Join us for this workshop plática as we learn to re-weave the stories we have been told—and the stories we tell ourselves—into narratives of healing, resilience, and self-determination. Our personal stories are also part of our collective story. By reconnecting with the cultural strengths within them, we can nurture healing for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
This will be RECORDED and available for viewing to all who register (recording available for two weeks).

Standard - $40
Certificate (clinicians) - $60
