This 12-week clinical group uses biography quilting as a narrative therapy practice grounded in liberation psychology, disability justice, and collective care. Participants are invited to explore their life stories through fabric, stitching, and shared reflection—transforming memory, identity, and meaning into a tangible object they can keep.
This group is appropriate for clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma-related distress, identity disruption, and/or chronic stress, particularly when verbal processing alone has been insufficient. No prior quilting experience is required. This is an in-person masked class in an ADA accessible building.
