Daily we unfold our stories into the world — some of them conscious, some not. Stories run through us from our ancestors, some from our culture. There are stories we tell others, and stories we tell ourselves, and stories of which we are unaware but which tell us. We will reflect upon the nature of these stories, how they shape our lives, and how each of them invites us to greater consciousness of where the invisible world informs the visible.
