the story workshop

August 20-August 23, 2009

What if there was a way to understand, experience,
and even tell your story in a way that
revealed God on every page -
past, present, and future?

with Dan B. Allender, PhD
at Mars Hill Graduate School - Seattle

A profound event that invites you deeply into the themes of your life,
The Story Workshop will offer encouragement and wisdom
as you seek to understand, write, tell, and live your story
in deeper and more transformative ways.

Perfect for individuals and couples, those who write and those who don't, those who want a deeper and more profound understanding of their story and  God's place in it (especially when God's absence has seemed more real than God's presence).

Join Dr. Dan Allender and a hand-selected, highly-trained team of amazing, kind, and richly-storied individuals. You'll participate in lecture, small groups, and one-on-one sessions as well as receive powerful, life-changing writing input. It's a beautiful four days!

Some reflections from previous attendees:
I can't recall 3-4 days that have changed my life more dramatically outside of the first time I truly experienced the love of Christ.

The worship is phenomenal. Now what I expected but everything I needed.

To finally begin breaking free of shame and move down the road of recovery is a treat I wasn't sure I'd ever taste. I know myself better. I know others better. I know the heart of God at a new depth.
