Heal Old Narratives, Awaken Your Authentic Voice and Embrace the Power of Your Story to Transform Your Life and Help Heal This World
We have arrived at an unprecedented moment of our evolution - as both individuals and as a collective - in which many oppressive systems we assumed would be in place forever are starting to crumble. We’re starting to glimpse a brighter present and future, for all people. One of hope and true equality in which society and the institutions that serve us shift from supporting a few to supporting all. From surviving to thriving.
Yet to arrive here deep healing is needed - on both personal and collective levels. We are experiencing not just a societal but also a spiritual crisis. The pain, trauma, anger, apathy, guilt, fear and overwhelm are evidence of disease; of pandemics that existed way before Covid 19. We have been both accomplices and victims of many systems that have separated us physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally - from ourselves and from each other. And it is time to resolve this separation.
In order to heal, we must first examine, reckon with, feel through, process and ultimately transform our relationships with these systems. And we can start this process by looking at the stories we’ve created while living within them - about ourselves, about others, about the world.
Your Story (with a capital S) is your lens - essentially how you see yourself, the world, your place in it and what you believe is possible. Your Story directly affects your life and how you walk through it. And so, to transform your life, you begin by healing and transforming your Story. And all the many stories that have contributed to it.
The Course
In this 3-session course, we will create a sacred and brave space for you to become intimate with your Story - what it’s been, how it is changing, and where it needs to heal and transform in the present in order to arrive at your future.
You’ll explore how you’ve experienced the many systems that are starting to crumble - white supremacy, racism, ableism, capitalism, individualism, patriarchy, gender normative constructs and any isms, biases and binaries that may have separated you from yourself and others.
Using StorySculpting™ tools and practices, you’ll unpack and begin to heal the effects this has had on your Story. And through this healing, we’ll start to open up whole new possibilities for your Story and life, now and in the emerging future.
What is StorySculpting?
StorySculpting™ is a dynamic and interactive healing journey that uses your personal narrative, the Story of you, as a way in to deeper awareness, self knowing, compassion, growth and expansion.
Through spoken and written story practices, self awareness exercises, deep chakra breathing, meditation, creative visualization and other spiritual tools, you become intimate with all of your parts – the parts of you in the light and the parts of you in shadow that you might hide or possibly don’t see. We work together to uncover and heal old patterns, beliefs and wounds, and transmute those experiences into empowering and expansive tools of creation. The creation of a Story and life that is aligned with your divine purpose and fueled by your Authentic Voice - a voice that honors and fully expresses your truest, evolving self. And opens you to connect with and contribute to sustainable, healthy communities.

Notes About This Course
As we will be a group that reflects many identities and lived experiences, there will be invitations on how to engage
each other to make this a safe yet brave and open space for everyone’s healing and evolution.
This course focuses on personal development, healing and evolution. However, individual healing leads to collective healing.
As you’re called in to heal yourself, you may also awaken to how you can be of service to your communities and the world.
This is not an antiracism course. This is personal development and healing work. A side effect is that you will be more ready
and able to contribute to a more just world for all.

Testimonials
“Hosanna is a true gift to the healing world as working with her has created room for new perspectives in my everyday life. With her supportive and empowering tools, I’ve been able to mend broken relationships with my immediate family. Through this work, I was finally able to remove all of the limiting labels and beliefs from past experiences that unknowingly informed and sometimes tainted my present experiences. I was able to heal stories that once served as defense mechanisms and dressings to old wounds in order to truly step into my individual power. Where I once felt stuck, I now feel a beautiful sense of fluidity that I can’t ever recall experiencing prior to this journey. My gratitude for you can’t be quantified, thank you, Goddess!”
“I share this in honor of the work I’ve been doing with Hosanna and StorySculpting™. I share this in being transparent that, at the age of 38, I truly see myself as me, and as myself in the world. And! how I want to truly and authentically be. I can’t express enough how this work has supported me....This work is next level...The work continues, and as it does I can serve myself and this world in a much better way.”
“I was initially anxious to begin my StorySculpting™ : Are there things that would come up that I wasn’t ready to face? Would I excavate my story and be critical of it? All of these worries were dissipated by Hosanna. She gently allowed space for my ego to run wild, and grounded me through breathing exercises, calling attention to my energy centers, quieting my mind and allowing my intuition to arise in its place. The Story exploration (through writing and audio recordings) allowed my spirit to explore an expansive inner terrain. Yes, things from the past that were unresolved were brought to the surface, but unexplored pathways made themselves clear through this guided process, and an uncharted and exciting future became available to me. This offering is for anyone who is ready to make a meaningful shift in their life. It certainly did that for me, by further unlocking my purpose and communicating it to the world.”
“I am just grateful that I had the experience. Hosanna’s group sessions made me feel like I could share parts of me in the presence of others, as she created a safe space for connection to happen. More than one person in the group had similar experiences as me, and it was really cathartic to realize that my Story is unique but I’m not alone… ”
“StorySculpting™ came to me at a time when I was grappling with undesirable aspects of my identity, personality and patterning that had bubbled to the surface... Even though I had been in talk therapy for several months, I had not had much success with naming what I was feeling, or with preemptively recognizing when anxiety was coming on or what might trigger it.
From the first session with Hosanna, what struck me most was her expansiveness. She seemed to be able to gracefully hold space for the many identities we worked together to name... With each realization or observation I would make about myself, Hosanna activated an impartial wisdom to guide me to the next. Her commitment to compassionately pointing to wisdoms that my stories were offering was crucial, allowing me to share painful truths of trauma without remaining stuck in (or victimized by) them. She helped me uncover powerful realizations about my struggles with authentic voice and truth, and many of the exercises we worked through provided me with a tool set (ranging from journaling to recording and more) to continue working through fears and blocks in those areas.
Beyond the tools, though, Hosanna’s energy and wisdom has helped me to cultivate and access my internal observer. My connection to my higher self is palpable for the first time ever, allowing me to begin the work of learning how to view my feelings as valuable pieces of intuition. My suffering as markers of lessons that I’m becoming more prepared to receive. My stories as things that I alone am capable of shifting.
Thank you Hosanna, your presence in my healing journey feels so aligned. I am grateful for the work that we have done, and the work that I know we’ll continue to do in the future. ”
About Hosanna
Hello, Hosanna here…
I’m a healing practitioner, artist and the creator of The Open Series - a platform that creates brave and sacred space for self discovery, healing and growth.
I help evolving humans like you connect with the power of your Story to heal old narratives and limiting beliefs, to create a life fueled by your Authentic Voice and aligned with your purpose, so that you can transform your life and the lives of others.
In 2013 it was my belief in the expansive nature of travel that led me to create The Open Series (One Person’s Evolving Narrative) - originally a documentary film series that explored the relationship between travel and self discovery. Each short film told the intimate story of an individual in a crossroads moment in life who was ripe for a journey. Open sponsored them to take a trip anywhere in the world.
After facilitating others’ journeys, I took a step back for some discovery of my own. It was on a solo trip through Spain and Portugal that I injured my left foot. Months later, back in NYC, a doctor told me I’d broken a small bone that would likely never mend. This was a wake up call to how I’d been pushing through pain - physically and in many other areas. I began to slow down, seeking to understand the state of my life and how my Story was affecting my experience of it.
This led to the creation of StorySculpting™ and a love for the power of Story - how our words create our world and how exploring, healing and sharing our Stories can transform our lives and the lives of others.
As it relates to this moment, I too am awakening to all the ways the many systems we’ve lived within and under have affected my Story and reality. And as I seek to liberate myself from their weight, I discover more and more tools, which I infuse into the StorySculpting practice. Tools to heal what has been, and also tools to vision and call forward new futures. We can’t heal it if we don’t feel it, we can’t create it if we can’t vision it. My healing practice invites myself and others in to do exactly this. I’m grateful to be on this path, and to hold space for us.
I look forward to meeting you…
