Gathering Embers Storywork Group
We’ve come together to tend what still glows.
The stories we carry, the fire we’ve held, the parts of us that want to be seen—we bring them here.
Through shared ritual, art, and reflection, we’ll gather what remains, name what’s been forgotten, and honor what’s ready to rise.
We don’t have to be ready—just willing.
Together, we’ll keep the fire.
Thursday evenings in June and July
