Theme Description: As we leave the busyness of the holiday season and enter into a new year, let's take a cue from nature, slow things down, and consider cocooning. Before emerging as butterflies and moths, caterpillars form protective chrysalises and cocoons. Inside these protective casings their bodies completely liquify, allowing their imaginal cells, that were previously hidden inside their squishy awkward young selves, to transform into their graceful, fragile, adult form. Tell us your story about cocooning. What is the safe place that you go when you need to turn to goo? Share a story about how you needed to come completely undone in order to rebuild and then fly. Narrate a story from your life that illustrates how solitude allowed you to connect with yourself so that you could emerge to do the work of a social butterfly. What are the imaginal cells, or pieces of you, that have remained consistent throughout your life, even if they looked really different during different phases in your development? Wrap yourself inside a cozy blanket and spend some time reflecting on the importance of cocooning, then emerge transformed and come share your story.
Story Circles include 6-8 people who gather and share stories on a common theme from their own lives. Collectively, the group explores what can be learned from the stories together that would be harder to understand from any particular story alone.
