Your story—every twist, ache, and triumph—is sacred.

It’s not just a collection of moments. It’s a window into who you are and how God is at work in your life. But too often, we try to forget our past or bury the pain. We assume healing means “moving on.”

But what if healing begins by going back?

You're invited to join us for the Story Workshop for Spiritual Abuse & Healing—a 3-day, Virtual experience that invites you to write, share, and explore your story in a space shaped by care, wisdom, and hope.

Over the course of the 3-day virtual workshop experience, you will:

  • Receive live, interactive teaching from Rachael Clinton Chen and the Allender Center team as they lead you through intensive, life-changing sessions on trauma, story, and healing.

  • Engage in six Story Group sessions—guided, small-groups led by NFTC Certified Facilitators designed to help you uncover more meaning and move toward blessing your story.

  • Be supported by a thoughtfully-paced schedule that includes moments of rest, spiritual practices, and personal reflection.

Register by January 30 to save $100!

This isn’t just about healing your past.

It’s about reclaiming your voice, renewing your hope, and becoming more fully present to your life—and to others. Because when we bless our stories, we learn to bless the stories of others. When we heal, we become healers.

When you journey into your story with the support of others, you can begin to break free from fear and shame and embrace the transformative power of your story.

Are you ready to take the next step? Register for an upcoming Story Workshop and begin the sacred work of engaging your story with intention, courage, and care.
