Join us on this six-week program focusing on grief and loss. We will look at stories that explore ways in which we may move between the living and the dead, embrace grief, and transform loss. Participants will engage with the stories through creative writing, meditations, sharing, and exercises, in groups and individually. The final week will provide an opportunity for participants to share their own creations with the group.
The series meets Tuesdays 8 March-12 April at Noon Eastern US / 6 pm European time for two hours. Adjustments will be made for Daylight Savings Time.
Class size is limited to 15 to ensure the best experience. The total fee for all six sessions is $120 USD, with a limited number of reduced spots (of $60-$100 USD). Supporters who pay at least $150 USD help fund the reduced spots; in gratitude, Rebecca and Jim will schedule a special hour for supporters following the conclusion of the program.
Part of the “Journey into Dying and Living” series, where we explore Dying and Living through storytelling, creative exercises, and meditations.

She tells stories about grief and death to open the conversation and help with healing. She is a Reiki healer and is an active participant in the group ‘Vivir y Morir’ in Spain, in which the taboo about death is overcome through discussions, practical and spiritual preparation, movies, poetry, and stories. In Spain, she gives introductory courses in storytelling skills for teenagers and adults in person and online. She often uses sound (Indian flute, kalimba, voice and frame drum) to give depth to the stories she tells.

The mission of Transformational Storytelling is to help inspire deep, lasting change in individuals, groups, and communities through the power of story.
Here you can both experience transformational stories and learn how to become a transformational storyteller. We have worked with individuals, groups, and communities around the world promoting the growth of spirit that comes from living with an open heart. We do not promote a particular tradition or ideology - our fundamental assumption is that we must truly appreciate the richness of our differences and the joy of our commonality to lead a full life.
We look forward to encountering you in the future!
