StoryFire is a weekend designed to ignite your voice, deepen your truth, and unlock the stories only you can tell. Set against the backdrop of stunning Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm. We’ll gather to tell the truth about our lives, understand the story we’re in, and reconnect to what actually matters to us.
Every great story begins with a call to adventure. On this winter weekend, we gather at the Bend House as we trace the symbols and patterns that have shaped us, break the spells that once held us, and speak our stories aloud as fellow travelers on the path.
What happens:
We talk honestly about where we are in life
We explore our deeper patterns, wounds, callings, gifts
We learn how to feel again instead of going numb or staying on autopilot
We practice speaking from the heart, not from performance
We build real connection with others who are doing the same
What you get from it:
Clarity about what’s actually going on in your life and where you’re being called
A felt sense of being seen, not judged or coached into a new identity
A renewed connection to your body, emotions, and intuition
Deep relationships with people who get you
A shift in how you show up in their daily life after you go home
