A Story Prompt

There are many ways we tell stories or catch the stories of others. Katie told her story through her art and her poems, private poems that she rarely shares.

Let’s stretch our stories in new dimensions. How do you tell your story best—through collage? Paintings? Scripts? Music? Woodcarvings? Teaching? Lyrics? Dances? Crafts? Perhaps like me you paint in words. Perhaps not. As creative beings we have a multitude of ways to capture and share our story.

Explore how you creatively share your story. You can write about this exploration and how it makes you feel, but if you prefer you can simply practice your creative art—draw, sculpt, sing, dance, create a collage, write a poem, etc. But consciously work to share your story or connect this creative pursuit to who you are.

Afterwards share your creative outcome. Either write about what you have learned about your story–or share it with a trusted confidant.
