Step into the next chapter of your life to tell your transformation story with a newly recreated, interactive, multimedia book! Spend time in the sanctuary of Pendle Hill’s art studio with safe and brave community as we dive deep into re-creation, introspection, and transformation.
In this program, as we alter a book’s physical structure and narrative, we will contemplatively and creatively consider our life journeys, our next steps, and our spiritual leadings. Transformation Stories offers opportunities to draw, paint, collage, craft pop-ups and other architectural techniques, journal, and explore creativity in community. While techniques will be taught, participants will have the flexibility and autonomy to choose which experiences are right for them, their books, and their stories.
This course is especially relevant for those who wish to process a life change, honor an important memory, or seek vision. Adults, seniors, and teens are welcome to participate – from those who are new to altering books to those with vast experience in the art form.
Instructions on how to choose a book to alter and how to select fabric to decorate the cover will be sent to registered participants before the start of the program. If possible, participants are asked to bring their own books. Fabric options will be provided or participants may bring their own. All other materials will be provided.

We all have experienced trauma in recent times and many of our lives have moved in unexpectedly difficult directions. Trauma work is difficult and rewarding. When we do the work, especially in community, new life comes that can bring us unexpected blessings. Through our five sessions, we will develop our stories, incorporating art and poetry. We will support each other to re-vision the story then invite it to move, using dance, movement, and music.
The work of four academicians/writers (Bessel Van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Stephen Porges – who endorsed this workshop – and John Calvi) will ground our experiential work throughout the weekend. We will engage with simple Spirit-led creative media to explore what the academicians and the spiritual healers mean when they tell us how to heal trauma. We will ask, “What is your story? Vision? What support do you need to move forward? How will we each get our needs met to move forward?” Through these steps we seek to free our stories and hear Spirit’s plan for us. Come dance with us, with God and our community to build this new life together.
