Parables by FirelightA Humanity Check Workshop

Make space for private reflection, consider another perspective and choose one small experiment to try in everyday life.

Curiosity. Discernment. A new perspective.

What we will explore

A story can open a question.
You decide where it leads.

Some of the beliefs we carry were handed to us. We can meet them with curiosity, consider what another perspective might reveal, and choose what to carry forward.

Drawing on the stories in Healing the Inner Child: Parables by Firelight, this gathering with Brian S. Packer makes room to imagine a meaningful possibility and take a small step toward it. You choose the direction. It can develop as you learn more about yourself, other people, and the situation in front of you.

You do not need to share personal experiences to participate. Reflection can stay private; sharing is optional.

  1. Notice what you carry

    Use a parable to notice an assumption or inherited way of seeing the world. Ask what it has helped you understand and what it might leave out.

  2. Consider another perspective

    Separate what you have observed from what you are assuming. Explore another explanation while keeping your own discernment and judgment.

  3. Imagine what could become possible

    Picture a future that matters to you. Consider who could benefit, what you want to preserve, and what you might need to learn or develop.

  4. Choose a direction and a first step

    Begin putting your North Star into words, then choose one manageable question or action to explore. The direction is yours to refine as you learn.

An educational reflection workshop, not therapy or clinical care. There is no expectation to disclose private experiences or reach a particular conclusion.

How we will spend the 60 minutes

We will move from reflection toward a useful next step, applying the ideas to everyday situations.
