Your Story Matters! Get started with our FREE Writing Guide!

Trying to think or write down a story to share in a Catholic Story Group can be daunting for some of us. It makes sense especially if we didn’t love school or struggled in an English class or a write assignment growing up. But story work doesn’t involve being a “good” writer. We aren’t even concerned about spelling or grammar. What matters most is holy curiosity about our past. What happened to you as a child? How did you talk as a child? What did you see as a child and how did you try to make sense of that as a child? That’s story work. According to scientific research, building a coherent written narrative leads to healing, improved brain integration, and a greater sense of meaning.
