Stories are lived, told, and appear throughout our lives.
AwakenArts explores what our stories tell us.
Story, poetry, image, and shared experience.


AwakenArts, The Stories that Shape Us
“We’ve put up walls.”“I’m at a crossroads.”“It became a stepping stone.”
The images are already there. We use them to give shape to our experiences.


Image and language can reveal what experience has been trying to tell us.
Each workshop brings the work into conversation with our own experience.

Ordinary things become carriers of meaning.

He did not say anything to them without using a parable.
Matthew 13:34
