Mending the Arc: Art + Story Circles is a monthly, narrative practice that reconnects us to our sacred responsibility as intergenerational stewards.
Mending the Arc is a reference to the arc of generations we see ourselves standing in today—an arc that reaches back seven generations and extends forward seven generations. In the center, we stand, and hold the sacred responsibility as stewards of this arc. Mending the Arc practice enables participants to identify the people, beings, and lands to which they are most connected in the past, present, and future.
When is Mending the Arc practice?
Second Wednesday of every month
Who should attend:
- Artists, storytellers, and worldbuilders seeking a creative space to nurture imagination and collective visioning.
- Anyone longing to reconnect with ancestral memory and deepen their relationship with the people, lands, and beings that shape their story.
- Community members eager to engage in a reflective, fire-circle-style storytelling practice that fosters connection and transformation.
- Those who feel called to honor their role as intergenerational stewards and explore their connection to past and future generations.
Storytelling helps us remember who we are, and who we need to be, to bring in the world we’re calling into being.
Resonance Network’s story practice is more akin to sitting around a fire and opening ourselves to the stories arising from within us.
These unedited and unrehearsed stories invite us to connect to embodied ancestral memory—they evolve organically, often in response to a prompt from a facilitator in a small group.

Art-making helps us experience what is possible when we engage our creativity, play, exploration, and different ways of knowing.
Meet the Facilitators
As artists and architects of the future, dipping into these deep wells of creativity and intuition is vital. These circles create that space, sacred time and connection that day-to-day life and dominant culture can often make it difficult to access.
By the end of each practice you will:
- Strengthen your storytelling practice as a tool for reflection, imagination, and worldbuilding.
- Cultivate a sense of belonging with others through shared, unrehearsed storytelling.
- Leave with renewed clarity and inspiration for your role as a steward of past, present, and future generations.
- Deepen your connection to ancestral memory and the intergenerational arc you stand within.
Logistics & details:
Together, we’ve found new openings in time, memory, and imagination at a time when worldbuilding, bold visioning, and deep connection are more important than ever.
