True Story: Rediscovering Yourself through the Storyline of Your Life

August 4-August 8
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
"One of the functions of art is to give people the words to know their own experience... Storytelling is a tool for knowing who we are and what we want."- Ursula K. Le Guin In this course we’ll guide you in playfully tapping into your imagination and natural storytelling skills in order to dream into the next chapter of your life - one you’ll be excited to live into - by helping you see the story of who you are. This is a great course for those who feel on the verge of a transition, new self, new way of being in the world, or feel unsure about what is next. And it will bring clarity to those who have played with the idea of maybe writing your life story for yourself, family or to be published. No writing experience needed, just curiosity. Side effects may include: Radical acceptance of your life story, the good, the bad and the ugly. Greater self-compassion. A deeper connection with your own authentic voice (especially helpful for you creatives.) Permission to be fully you.

TESTIMONIALS

"Kelly Carlin is one of the most inspiring, encouraging, engaging coaches I have ever had."
Coby K. - Master Coach & Kripalu Yoga Instructor
"After working with Kelly, I feel enthusiastic and really ready for my next chapter.”
Claudia P. - Visual Artist
" I had epiphany after epiphany about why I was the way I was and how to re-align my actions to my True North. It was revelatory.”
Lori F. - Voice Over Actress & Coach
“When I began coaching, I felt extremely uncomfortable in my own skin. I was afraid to let those around me see the real ME. Now, when I show my real self to others, if they don’t quite get me, I let it go. I know who I am. I like me, and that’s what counts.”
Krista S. -
“I find it is rare to work with someone like Kelly with such ease and naturalness paired with profound discovery, made possible by her focused attention, spot on feedback and gentle invitation to encounter my own healing images. Working with her is a unique invitation and delight that I would recommend to anyone.”
Darby C. - Master of Social Work
