Our Stories Define Us -
We'll help you tell yours
At MPG we integrate storytelling and creativity into everything we do, because stories are essential to who we are and how we heal, learn and grow.
We’ve spent years developing our methods, building on a foundation of narrative therapy and drama therapy to craft high-impact interventions that offer powerful growth opportunities for diverse populations through intentional creative expression and storytelling.
Resilience Storytelling
MPG’s signature method of narrative therapy is a potent tool to effect long-lasting and rapid personal growth and change through a re-storying process. It reduces internal shame about stigmatized experiences, increases resilience, and achieves other key wellness goals for people on healing journeys. MPG has helped thousands of people discover their voice and speak with power, clarity, and purpose about some of the toughest challenges life has to offer through this popular and time-tested method. It can be offered as a group workshop or individual story coaching.
Embodied Storytelling
This versatile program introduces theatre and storytelling exercises into group processes, providing participants with the opportunity to safely practice critical skills for wellness like self-regulation, identity formation, use of voice, and boundary-setting. It uses play as a natural learning tool and promotes safe risk-taking, mistake-making, and experimentation, building on the narrative therapy techniques of Resilience Storytelling and incorporating embodiment to more fully engage the body, mind, and emotional connection, offering a new way to access healing narratives. It’s fun, dynamic, and deep all at once! It can be used as a whole curriculum, or broken into pieces to integrate into existing group sessions.
Embodied Songwriting
This incredibly unique and innovative workshop builds on our other storytelling programs with the addition of music, guiding participants to discover a story within themselves and turn it into a song. Techniques combine narrative and drama therapy with a fully embodied songwriting process that requires no instruments and no prior skill, leaving participants with a deeply moving experience that builds connection and healing celebrates their resilience.
Other Offerings
We also provide healing workshops in memoir writing, improvisation, musical theatre, and story performance, and individual coaching for storytelling in all its many forms.
