Attend a Story Circle
Story Circles are intimate gatherings hosted throughout the Piedmont Triad, designed to foster connection, creativity, and healing in community. Each gathering begins with an introduction to a healing or creative arts modality, offering a fresh tool or perspective for personal growth. The second hour opens into a guided sharing circle—an inviting space to tell your story, listen deeply, and gain new insight into life’s challenges alongside other women.
