We live in stories, consciously or not. Many of them bedevil us, especially stories we are stuck in, fail at, fight about, or find boring. This workshop explores basic narrative issues we encounter in life, and the resolutions portrayed in folk and classic narratives. Using exercises to apply these perspectives to our own lives, we will journey through ever-deeper levels of narrative. The result is a map of adult development which ideally culminates in enlightenment.
