About this Workshop Series

Central to this workshop is the Healing Story Circle experience, a cornerstone of Rebecca's work that creates a safe container for participants to find their own answers through the reflections of others in the group. This collaborative process fosters a sense of community and support, allowing for deeper insights and understanding.

Participants are encouraged to select one relationship they would like to explore more deeply over the course of the four weeks. This focused exploration will provide an opportunity for profound healing and connection.

Each week will include creative exploration followed
by the Healing Story Circle.

By the end of this workshop, you will have a richer understanding of the ARCH framework and how it applies to your chosen relationship, as well as practical tools to support your ongoing healing journey.

 More information about What this series offers

Class 1 ~ August 5, 2025
(The Beginning)

Awareness/Acknowledge
and
Resource/Regulate

Intention setting happens today. Which relationship will you focus on for our time together? 

This week, we’ll explore awareness of the story, the body experience, and feelings about the relationship you’ve brought to the experience. Why acknowledging is important and often skipped over.

We will identify some basic strategies for resourcing and regulating as we touch on the feelings. Then we’ll create some space to connect with the left-brain story you’ve been telling yourself and the right brain experience of whatever happened so you can begin to see how you made sense of it.

We’ll introduce two writing techniques and a simple art technique to open up the story you tell and the story you show with your body.

We’ll end with some reflection as we model basic Healing Story Circle strategies and give you space to share what you’re taking with you from our first week together. We will also set up small group cohorts to stay connected with each other during and after the experience.

Class 2 ~ August 12, 2025
(The Middle)

Resource/Regulate
and
Connect the Dots

Review of A and R.

We’ll add some more strategies for resourcing and regulating, including co-regulation.

Introduce Connecting the Dots and Completing Stress Cycles. 

We’ll deepen our collective understanding of the story, using processing in small groups (co-regulation) with reflection to support the connection of the left brain and right brain experiences of what happened.

This is about supporting each person’s own process of discovery. You’ll have time for individual writing or art, then time to share something in the group as you make your own connections.

Class 3 ~ August 19, 2025
(Middle, moving towards ending)

Complete Stress Cycles,
Healing through Repair

Review of A, R, and C.

We’ll explore some additional strategies for completing stress cycles that you can use during the week and for those situations where you can’t make big connections where you’re lacking information or there are too many things that need to be seen.

We’ll explore strategies for healing, including writing, artistic, movement, musical strategies to support completion, release of whatever is still there for you.

We’ll explore situations in the group where repair is possible with another person (including yourself), as well as situations where repair is not possible directly. 

We’ll move into a Healing Story Circle small group experience to process through what needs to be seen, heard, and felt to feel more complete.

Class 4 ~ August 26, 2025
(The Ending)

Healing When
Repair Is Not Directly Possible

Integration, deepening, strategies that you can take home with you to explore.

We’ll go deeper into situations where repair is not possible with the other person.

Buddy listening, connecting with group members, HSC opportunities, choosing what you’re taking with you from this experience, creating a list of strategies for yourself.

Closing the circle. We’ll weave additional strategies throughout this day’s experiences. What do you want for yourself in "the after" of this experience? After- follow up and check in.
