“The most powerful words in English are “Tell me a story”.”
— Pat Conroy
Story
The foundation of the entire program is story, starting with one-on-one meetings with each participant to allow them to tell their story to a person whose only purpose is to listen.
This meeting is about their life story so far; the next chapter does not have to be more of the same.
“It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you, and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.”
~ Lyanla Vanzant
