yOU ARE seen. YOU ARE heard. YOU ARE honored.

 

Welcome to The Starfish Connection's online community. Our Story is a place for every Storyteller to feel safe and empowered in sharing stories of their real-life experiences. In order to protect this right, it is important for storytellers to feel like they are in a safe place where they can share without judgement, ridicule, or advice. This requires participation from us all.

"it was writing the truth that set her free..."

 

Storytelling creates connections between people where we may not normally find commonality and preserves layers of history that inform our present lives and impact our futures. Our intention is to provide space for all people to tell their stories, magnifying voices that are so often unheard.

 

Our founder, Virginia, and her late husband John, envisioned a place where people could come and share the stories of their lived experiences. Through storytelling people can build community, claim their truth, self-heal, and write their life's experiences in their own words. In this way each Storyteller is seen, heard, and honored.
