LIFE STORY TRANSFORMATION:

Change Your Story. Heal Your Shame. Change Your Life.

A group journey to evoke your deeper Life Story
for healing, creativity, confidence and self expression.

 

In this time of turmoil and the abyss of the unknown, inspiration flows
when we are able to connect to our radiant self-expression. 

Join us as we explore myth, metaphor, family lineage, and dreams by weaving together the threads of our lives with universal themes. The method I developed and have used for years is designed to unfold your creative process through a unique blend of journaling, storytelling, scribble art, guided visualization, improvisation and dreamwork.

  • Learn to share your life in a way that is authentic and riveting. 

  • We’ll banish the inner critic that blocks creativity and movement. 

  • Learn to be more present with tools for deep listening, active witnessing and storytelling.

  • Experience freedom, power, and energy for what’s possible in your life through rewriting your internal narrative.

  • Your deeper Life Story will emerge through this process and feed you at a soul level.

Here’s What People Are Saying About The Class:

“This process allowed me to move into my creative self.”

 
Thank you for a truly wonderful experience... Your gentle guidance was awesome. I often feel like I have a force field built up that prevents me from starting any creative process. I feel like this experience helped me on several levels, including inspiring me to move into my creative self as much as I can with the time that I have. I always have a difficult time letting the creative out — yet when I do it often flows.
— Julie N.
 

“This was the healing that my body needed.”

 
As a therapist, I am deeply honored by everyone’s support, compassion and encouragement. We did amazing work together each week in the class. The witnessing and tender heart-felt comments were the blessings that helped me to finally tell my story. I am astonished with how much bravery I had to stop hiding and share my pain.

After Friday, my body was still buzzing and I could feel my inner critic getting wicked. But, I remained strong. Today, I am happy to share that for the first time, my body is at its most peaceful state than it has ever been in the last three years. I stopped being at war with myself the minute I stood up to be witnessed. Sheila, keep doing your amazing work!
— Karen Y
 

“The past weeks were amazing… I really felt seen and I unfolded layers and told my story.”

 
Sheila, you held such a healing, safe place for us to emerge, to explore, to be creative, and to be playful, as we gathered together all the different parts of ourselves — the light and the dark — to share and to tell our story. You helped us weave together the threads, the themes that hold our life and our experiences, always leading us to a deeper appreciation and understanding of their meaning and wholeness. Thank you for the sacred space you created for our sacred stories to emerge.
— Catherine M.
