DRLN is looking for two member organizations who are interested in attending this workshop. Please contact Jamila ([email protected]) if you or your organization are interested in attending.
Improve your storytelling skills while learning how to build and strengthen community within a transformative, collaborative, and supportive learning environment. The Certificate in Community Storytelling is for anyone interested in learning how to use the power of personal storytelling to heal, enrich, and mobilize communities for good.
The training is a one-week long intensive May 3 – May 8. The training involves lectures, narrative exercises, small group sharing, and group discussion. This year’s training will be held in a retreat-like setting on the edge of the Columbia Gorge just 30 minutes outside Portland, Oregon.
In addition to the week long intensive, participants will receive four months of online group teaching (90 minute gatherings once a month) and three story coaching sessions via zoom or phone with one of our story coaches. In order to receive certification, participants will be required to design and complete a community storytelling project with individual coaching and mentorship by Hearth facilitators. Participants will present their projects at a final zoom meeting in October 2026.
