Allender Center Story Groups: Spring 2025

Story Groups with the Allender Center are designed to invite you into deep reflection to grow awareness of how your life experiences impact you in your relationships, your spirituality, and your everyday life. In these interactive groups, you’ll gain insights into how your unique story impacts your current way of understanding and relating to yourself, others, and God.

Our Story Groups are expertly led by Student Facilitators who are undergoing rigorous training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care® Level III with the Allender Center. These dedicated facilitators, who have also completed Level I & Level II work under the direct supervision of the Allender Center Training Team. Story Groups are not group therapy; they are intended to be an in-depth complement to your ongoing personal and/or therapeutic work.

Here’s what you’ll experience when you join a Story Group:

  • Seven weekly 2-hour sessions with a small group of no more than 5 people.
  • Guided discussions and reflections to help you delve into your story.
  • Access to an exclusive version of the popular “To Be Told” self-paced online course from the Allender Center. This course offers video lessons that will enrich your learning throughout your 7-week Story Group journey.

Enrollment for the Spring 2025 Story Groups is closed for this year, but please email us at info@theallendercenter.org to learn about other ways you can get involved!
