An afternoon of restoring resilience, deepening community, and embracing womanhood
Rewriting the Story is a supportive, guided experience for women who are ready to reconnect with their values and voice.
This workshop blends reflective narrative practices with a women’s circle environment, offering space to explore what you have carried, what you have outgrown, and what you want to author next.
You do not have to do this alone. You deserve community, clarity, and a story that fits who you are becoming.
Who this is for
This event is especially for women of color who are interested in self-empowerment and personal growth, and who want space to:
Reflect on the stories you inherited about who you should be
Make meaning of life transitions, stress, or burnout
Reconnect with values, voice, and identity
Be witnessed in a supportive circle
Leave with practical tools to carry forward
What to expect

While the workshop is facilitated by licensed mental health professionals, it is designed as a guided group experience focused on personal reflection, learning, and community connection. Participation does not create a therapist–client relationship, and the event is not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment.
