Welcome to Sacred Play

Return to rest. Return to play. Return to your true self.

You’re asking—

How have the stories from my growing up years shaped the way I am today?

Why can’t I seem to truly rest?

Are my behaviors and reactions part of my personality or the strategies I’ve used to survive?

Is change possible after all this time? 

How can I stay with myself and use my voice?

Sacred Play is a 45-minute weekly virtual workshop series designed to guide you back to your childhood stories through art and writing prompts. The workshops are held on Thursdays at 8pm EST on Zoom from March 19 - April 16.

Together, we'll explore the landscapes, relationships and collectives that shaped you. We'll listen with curiosity and compassion to what is still alive in your stories and use imagination as a pathway for healing, integration, and returning to true self. Perfect words and artistry aren’t measures we use. Curiosity and embodied attention are the only things needed to participate in the sacred play workshops.

—Words from Story Group Members—

  • “I would recommend to anyone wanting to more fully see themselves - habits, patterns, relationship dynamics, warts and all, to explore joining one of their groups.”

    Rachel, Story Group Member

  • "Since being a part of this group, I have found myself returning to play, creativity, and community. This work has inspired me to explore through art and childlikeness.”

    Lesley, Story Group Member

  • “I hadn’t put a lot of thought into personal creative outlets, and this group became a beautiful way to begin integrating that. Putting effort into healing childhood wounds or conditioning seems like time well worth it."

Meet your companions in play.


We (Molly and Lisa) met through our training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care with The Allender Center in 2023. In 2025, we led three story groups and began dreaming about an additional offering that would be both accessible and offer long-lasting community care. We listened to the voices of women in our story groups who said, “we don't want this to end,” and to others who are curious about story work.

In this moment, with current events and family dynamics reaching all bodies, we believe time set aside for creativity, rest and play is one of the most important things we can do.  For these reasons and more, we are delighted to invite you to join us for the Sacred Play workshop series.

The Way Ahead in 2026
