Story Practices: An 8-Week Masterclass

StoryHost_2026

Story Practices: An 8-Week Masterclass is a live, online course for people who work with story — or want to. Educators, facilitators, community organizers, librarians, therapists, social workers, health workers.

People who already sit with others through change and transformation, and want story as a deeper, more intentional part of that work.

The through-line of the course is simple: you cannot invite others into story without having gone through it yourself. So we do both — in sequence and in parallel.
The arc moves through four phases:

  • Knowing Story (Weeks 1–2) — where story lives in a life, and why this moment in history demands it
  • Knowing Story (Weeks 1–2) — where story lives in a life, and why this moment in history demands it
  • Making Story (Weeks 3–5) — voice, autoethnography, revision, the draft that surprises you
  • Facilitating Story (Weeks 6–7) — building the room, designing the curriculum Releasing Story (Week 8) — witness, completion, and what comes next

Participants leave with two deliverables: a personal autoethnographic narrative piece and a story curriculum designed for their own context.
