Find Your Voice: Exploring the Story of You

Program Description

Find Your Voice: Exploring the Story of You is a writing practice grounded in mindfulness and fueled by research-informed prompts that aim to increase a personal sense of wellness and positivity through crafting and engaging with stories about one’s own lived experiences. Individuals who participate in the practice will be given writing prompts that will call upon positive moments from their lives, either in the present moment or past, and encourage participants to write the story of that moment. This can be done through any number of ways, either as a journal entry, a letter to your past or future self, a scripted scene, a poem, and more. Participants will then have the opportunity to share their written work with the group, if they wish.

The Aim of the Practice

The aim of Find Your Voice: Exploring the Story of You is simple – to remind participants that their own lives and stories are beautiful, worth sharing, and to use those stories as a reminder of how powerful they truly are. Feeling seen and heard can be a powerful experience that may offer an individual much-needed encouragement, and the opportunity to share their written stories with the group offers that space.

What Does Research-Informed Mean?

The foundation of Find Your Voice: Exploring the Story of You is centered around published arts in health research and the core principles of the social cure, the theory of positivity, and the theory of self-efficacy. All writing prompts are then developed from arts in health concepts: click here to learn a bit more.
