Stories of Myself

I had a good grasp of who i was…
and what I thought was important to me until my mother passed away. At that moment, I realized that I didn't know who I was without her as my guidepost. As chance would have it, I had just embarked on a graduate study program in transpersonal psychology. My studies offered me the opportunity to take a holistic approach and turn inward to reflect on what events and beliefs had shaped my values and consider if they still fit as I passed into a new stage of my life. On this journey, I discovered tools that helped ground me in my ideals and brought clarity about my purpose in life. I have gathered these resources together into a guidebook to share with you.
Stories of Myself will take you on a journey to step out of your day-to-day routine into an exploration of discovering your authentic self. Connect to your inner voice with storytelling, mindfulness and movement exercises, and creative play that requires no previous art experience. Immerse yourself to cultivate your intuitive awareness, identify your strengths and inner resources, and create awareness of what no longer serves you. As you work through the exercises, you will build an art journal that captures your story as it unfolds. Photography and examples from my journal are sprinkled throughout to inspire you on your path to personal growth and transformation. This book will empower you to curate a more meaningful life from within.

I hope this book will inspire you on a journey to discover and celebrate your unique voice.
Reviews
Each of the eight modules in this workbook offers what feels to me beautifully distilled and informed methods for those on a path toward self-discovery. Some prompts and practices are quite challenging, while others offer more accessible surprise and delight, striking a perfect balance. The book itself is gorgeous, and full of resources for further exploration.
