Storytelling Through Grief: Finding Healing and Hope

Four-session virtual workshop for people bereaved due to substance use related causes led by award-winning Storyteller Meghann Perry.

You will participate in 4 virtual workshops too be held: 8/7/25, 8/14/25, 8/21/25 & 9/4/25.

Stories are a way of showing us how we see the world and what is sacred to us. When someone we care about dies, especially in a way that carries stigma, it can change the way we tell those stories. Sometimes, the story we tell revolves around pain, shame or silence. That can keep us from remembering the full truth of who they were and it can hold us back in our own healing journey. This 4 session workshop is designed to help people explore a different relationship with their story. With guidance from experienced story coaches, participants will gently reflect on how their story has been shaped, what parts might feel difficult and what other truths are waiting to be told. Through small group conversations, pair sharing and gentle coaching, we’ll begin to open space for new meaning. This doesn’t mean rewriting the past, it means allowing the complexity of love, grief and memory to come forward in a way that feels more whole. This is a space for grieving people to be honest, heard and supported in finding a story that feels more true, not just about how their person died, but about how they lived.

Plan to attend all four sessions.

Sign up required. Reserve your spot here.

A zoom link for the four sessions will be sent prior to the workshop sessions.
