Story From the Core is Your Story Your Way, from all that you are, all you’ve been, and all you are becoming.
A Simple Framework for a Big Story
Story from the core
3 Ingredients
Storytellers/Artists need just enough order (or frame, or container, or safety) to create the thing…
CORE
Your Core Medicine
Where you and your story are ‘of’. Where do you stories come from? Who are you in them? Who have you always been? Who are you a part of? Where are you a part of? These are big questions with many ways to interpret them. There is no right or wrong answer, there’s what is only what is absolutely truthful to you.
This looks like: Voice, Tone, Want, Impact, Symbols, Metaphor etc…
FRAME
Sometimes You Tell the Story and Sometimes the Story Tells You.
How your creation process happens, and how the story is held together from beginning to end. What creative structure do you need to get the story out of your head and heart and onto the page? What story structure does your tale need to say what it wants to say? What is the accountability structure that serves your creative process to ensure you get it done?
This looks like: Writing, Being Interviewed, Speaking, Drawing, Transcribing etc… followed by plot and outline, and finally, timelines and agreements.
FLOW
Creative Alchemy
Saying yes to your creative impulses, following them and letting them take you to where the story wants to go. Saying yes to your bravery so that you practice standing in the centre of your story without justification or apology. Saying yes to play, allowing your story to surprise you, lift you and be nourishment for you.
This looks like: doing due diligence, showing up, and doing the work.
HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
Session by Session
We will work in 3 month increments (6 sessions) as a combination of Expressive Arts Therapy and Story Coaching. A project will emerge from the session work we’re engaged in, and the process we create together will fall into place based on what is presenting.
CORE – Core Story Sessions to clearly identify the medicine of your being (1 Session)
FRAME – Story Spine Sessions to listen for what wants to be shared in the form of a project or goal. (4 Sessions)
FLOW – Performance based exploration of your story to claim your voice, realm, and identity as a storyteller. (Ongoing)
Includes The Grab and Go Bundle for your reference.
