Go through your favorite photographs bring them to this special session. Look closely. What story is the photo holding? What memories rise to the surface? What has your body remembered that the photograph cannot show? Let’s share the stories our bodies are holding around family, friends, love, laughter, resilience, and community. Every photograph holds a story, and every story deserves to be told.

More About Writing as Prayer
Through Scripture, poetry, silence, meditation, prayer, and gentle writing prompts, we will create a morning space to explore faith, hope, gratitude, grief, longing, purpose, healing, forgiveness, and the possibility of new beginnings.
Sometimes prayer is spoken.
Sometimes prayer is song.
Sometimes prayer is silence.
And sometimes prayer is writing the words our body is holding.
Come to breathe
Come to be still
Come to write
Come to share
Come to listen
In a sacred space.
Bring your journal, your questions, your faith and be present.
More about Tanya Davis
Tanya Davis became passionate about narrative writing while completing the Narrative Medicine Master’s Program at Lenoir-Rhyne University.
Tanya Davis believes that our bodies are story collectors and are waiting for us to slow down and listen. Using literature, poetry, and other forms of art as prompts, we will breathe and write while releasing the stories our body holds.
If you believe in the power of story and want to explore your personal narratives in community, with others, Follow the Echoes of Your Inner Voice narrative workshops is the space to do it.
These narrative workshops:
*Are a meditative practice. When you want to slow down and listen to the stories your body is holding.
*Are helpful if you have a fear of writing and want to explore the possibility in a non-judgmental space.
*Build confidence as you see the power of sharing your story with others.
*Build compassion and empathy as you become an active listener in the story of others.
We will write. We will listen. We will bear witness with one another in a sacred space.
Private sessions are also available. Please contact Tanya at TDavis@thewillgroup.com if you’d like to discuss private one-on-one options.
