Reclaiming your Story
A special series for adventurers who seek to travel...within and beyond
Who are you? Big question, huh? In many ways, it's the question we are here to discover.
Who are you…
… in terms of how you relate to the Universe?
… in terms of how you relate to Mother Earth?
… in terms of how you relate to other living beings?
and
… in terms of how you relate to YOU?
That last question is the tricky one. Because to answer it, you have to know YOU. And that ain’t easy, what with societal conditioning, family and friend demands…and personal avoidance. It’s why many people dedicate every ounce of energy to saving people, animals, planets, even the cosmos. Because they don’t want to do the hard work of discovering and nurturing and freeing themselves.
So, what do you say we create a space for you to start doing some of that work? To hold up the mirror and see exactly who you are today. To see your story as you present it to others, as you believe it to yourself. And, then, let's start separating the pages of that story. In one pile, we'll put the elements that were written by you, your creations. In the other, we'll put all the pages and chapters and volumes of your story that actually came from somewhere else, that may not even be your story at all. Finally, let's dig through those pages that you created, see what's missing...and then go find some of it.
What say you?
If you say "let's go", I'm not guaranteeing that you will find the answer to the question “who are you?” (there are no guarantees in this uncertain dance we call life!), but I bet you just might find part of an answer and, if you truly show up, I do know that you will fall deeper in love with the question itself!
This is a very organic series. There is a general structure, but mostly we will flow with the energy of the circle and each of its members. The general structure has the following three components:
This series is limited to 8 people. All sessions will be held at the New Orleans Healing Center (2372 St Claude Ave, NOLA).

Weds, July 24
Weds, July 31
Sun, Aug 4
Weds, Aug 7
Weds, Aug 14

All Weds sessions are 6:00-7:30 p.m. Both Sunday sessions are 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
There is a sliding fee scale for this series which can be discussed individually. Bottom line: the state of your bank account should not be a deterrent to participation. To be considered, please send an email with your initial intention in doing this work and any questions or comments to: [email protected]
This facilitator for this series is Brett Will Taylor, a southern shaman and New Orleans storyteller. He writes a weekly column for NolaVie called Love NOLA and offers bimonthly commentary on WWNO/90.9 FM.

This is a very organic series. There is a general structure, but mostly we will flow with the energy of the circle and each of its members. The general structure has the following three components:
- Shine a light on your current Story and identify its various components.
- Unbraid that Story, separating what is truly yours from what you have been given from others…and taken from others
- Journey to the place of Source (or the Great Void as some call it) to claim a part of your Story that you have kept hidden, bringing it forward to become a part of who you are today.
