The Story Staircase

The Story Staircase is the metaphorical staircase within us that leads us to a higher vantage for viewing life and the world. This staircase can go both up and down at the same time. This is because our more difficult stories, the stories that feel very heavy and challenging, can be the stories that lift us up higher than we imagined. Generally, every story we open elevates our understanding of ourselves, our worlds, and how we interact with both.

Your Story Staircase is your unique journey. It is the journey each of us takes to bring healing into our lives. Fortunately, the journey, when accompanied by Story Shepherds, is gentle, emotional, and sweet–even with the dark stories, even with the ones we feel ashamed and frightened to tell. Story Shepherds have climbed their own Story Staircases and know exactly what it feels like to open the past and draw forth its medicine. We will never judge, never censure, never say a harsh word. We know. We understand. We, each in our own way, have been there. No story is so extraordinary that it can’t be told and witnessed. We are all tellers and all listeners. This is how we heal.
