New Year, New Story Workshop

[Guest guest]

Can You Imagine the Impossible?

By imagining the impossible, Einstein made the impossible possible. " When

I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing information. " -- Albert EinsteinA " New Story " Collage and Writing Workshop

Traditionally, it's most powerful to do vision work in the first weeks of a new year. This workshop uses poetry, writing, and the art of collage to discover, give shape to, and set into motion the reality you want to bring about this year. It's based not on hard-to-keep resolutions but on giving concrete expression to themes -- the internal emotional conditions that give sustaining energy, vibrancy, and depth to goals and actions.

Our brains absorb information most powerfully when it's delivered in visual form and store it in our unconscious mind, where it forms the filters through which we interpret and shape our realities.Our unconscious doesn't discern " real " from " imagined. " And this is the neural clay where we can remold our lives.

---I've been working with story and other expressive arts for 18 years. In that time I have helped many hundreds of people turn the most devastating events and situations into journeys of self-discovery and rebirth -- always through the dramatic arc and metaphors of story. My clients have included adults coping with the impact of childhood abuse, life-threatening illness, bereavement, job and relationship dissatisfaction or loss, and 9/11-related trauma. In recent years, I've been helping people in difficult transitions or stuck at a threshold use archetypal story, writing, and other arts to find their natural voice, map their right path forward, galvanize confidence to take life-changing action, and start and complete creative projects.

In addition to my private creative counseling and story coaching practice, I offer 7-week Write of Passage intensives, in which I help people apply archetypal story structure (crisis, struggle, and transformation) to life challenges. This course happens several times a year in NYC and continuously online.

I also offer story trainings for mental health professionals and physicians. I've given presentations and programs at the National Association for Mental Health Professionals, the World Congress for Social Psychiatry, the C.G. Jung Foundation, NYFD Counseling Services Unit, numerous hospitals, universities, and many group practices and professional training programs.
