The invitation

Let your favorite stories teach you something new.

This is a literary, experiential, and clinically grounded exploration of the themes readers know well: found family, courage, desire, survival, power, belonging, and the parts of us we protect. The final curriculum is still in development.

I

The Scribe's City

Edinburgh offers an opening chapter shaped by setting, story, and the first threads of found family.

II

Magic in the body

Falconry and archery invite focus, confidence, consent, and embodiment outside the lecture room.

III

Story as clinical language

Planned sessions explore fantasy, romantasy, bibliotherapy, fandom, parts work, somatic practice, and nature-based learning.

IV

The return

Reflection, celebration, and quiet integration help make meaning of the stories we bring into our work.

Falconry

Field evidence / Falconry

A signature encounter

Confidence has a body.

Falconry and archery do not exist here as spectacle. They give us lived material for talking about agency, attention, fear, trust, and the kind of courage that grows through practice.

Participation alternatives and accessibility details will be available before enrollment so each person can make an informed choice.
