*Like a good book, the ReStory Gatherings have been shelved but only temporarily. Please feel free to sign up for my blog and when the time is right for the Circles to reconvene, we’ll let you know!
What is a ReStory Circle?
A ReStory Circle is a safe structure for group sharing, deep listening and conversation, and for generating ideas to reframe your life through writing prompts. It’s a place where you can feel nurtured, supported and empowered.
Come. Sit in a Circle. Practice reflective writing. Share as you choose. Listen. Spend time getting to know yourself, look at what’s not working, or what’s holding you back, and make a shift. Come and reframe the way you see yourself and see your life.
It’s not about a shift in circumstances; it’s about a shift in consciousness and attitude, through self-compassion, self-honesty and accountability.
Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea’s Circle process (The Circle Way, A Leader in Every Chair), is used as the framework for my ReStory Circle Sessions. The Circle is an energetic social container capable of helping a group draw on wellsprings of insight, information and story that inspire collective wisdom and action.
Won’t you join us and find out how you, too, can make a difference in your own life?
My Approach
Because I believe the most important story we’lI ever hear is the one we tell ourselves, I bring people together to write, share and reframe those stories. I use the ReStory Reflective Writing Process™ to help you explore and become aware of the detrimental stories you are telling yourself and reframe them into ones that serve you.
This writing process has provided a way for hundreds of people, just like you, to reframe the way they see themselves and create a new story.
There’s an old African proverb that applies to our gatherings. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
In a Jeanne Guy Gathering we don’t go it alone. I’ll be right there with you, working on my own stuff. We’ll do it together. We meet and engage in community, in a circle. The circle creates a space for you to participate in a remarkable, deep conversation. Did I mention we also have fun and laugh a lot in the process?
In a ReStory Circle, you can feel respected, trusted and connected.
In a ReStory Circle, you can feel nurtured, supported and empowered.
These Circle gatherings, whether they be in a workshop or at a retreat, rely on a social container of collective wisdom, but with the objective of inspiring individual growth through reframing of your life’s story.
Reflective writing will give you the opportunity to get in touch with what you really want your life to be… explore what is holding you back and allow you to start crafting your life, via a healthier, more self-loving path.
