community story tent
The Community Story Tent is a one-night guided practice for awakening the imaginal self—through the gentle softening of the body and the shared field of human experience.
Each gathering moves through the full arc of the Emerald Tent.
We begin at the Forest Threshold—a guided entry into the inner landscape, where the pace slows and the outer world begins to fall away.
From there, a singular story is offered—one that rises for the times. Drawn from myth, folklore, and the living world, it arrives to meet an ache, a curiosity, or a quiet yearning to grow. Not to be analyzed, but to be felt—received in the body and the deeper layers of the psyche.
As the story opens, the nervous system begins to soften.
The experience then deepens through somatic integration—simple, grounding practices that invite the body into greater ease and presence, allowing what has been stirred to begin to settle and take shape within.
You are then guided into small, witnessed triads—a space where your voice can emerge without interruption, without fixing, without performance.
Here, the personal meets the universal, and something often shifts simply by being seen and heard.
The evening gathers into communal sound—a shared hum that gently brings the group into resonance. An ancient, wordless coherence that settles the body and connects each person to the living field of the whole.
This is the space of wonder and allowing.
Each Community Story Tent is a complete and contained experience—a space where something within you can soften, listen, and begin to move.
The evening closes in Afterglow—with light food, tea, and open connection—where what was stirred begins to land, integrate, and weave gently into the fabric of your life.
the imaginal self awakens
Through this shared experience, the body begins to settle—not as an escape from life, but as a way of meeting it more fully.
Attention softens.
Awareness deepens.
What has been held begins to move in its own time.
Over time, this work gently strengthens the capacity for:
-
calm and steadiness
-
emotional range and resilience
-
meaningful connection with others
-
a deeper sense of being at home within oneself
The Emerald Tent offers continuous refuge for the deeper parts of you that are starving for connection and attention.
All are welcome.
a gentle note
The Emerald Tent is not therapy or medical treatment.
They are facilitated communal experientials grounded in embodied presence, deep listening, and nervous system awareness.
You are always free to participate at your own pace.
