Human beings, by their very nature, are storytellers. Whether in the ways in which they communicate their thoughts with others, but also in what they tell themselves, and in how they navigate change, interpersonal dynamics, and their own fears.
Mastering an understanding of the nature of stories, and how stories affect the work environment both positively and negatively, can make or break an organization’s culture.
This course will give you an opportunity to explore your own deeply held stories, as well as help you to see and navigate the web of stories present in your organization in order to create a healthier and more productive environment. It is for current organizational leaders and future leaders.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will identify their own stories that are keeping them stuck, or in thought patterns that are restricting their growth as effective leaders.
- Participants will explore the web of stories that colleagues may be carrying and chart the ways in which these affect the culture of the organization.
- Participants will learn strategies to support their colleagues and direct reports to rebalance the narratives creating interpersonal conflicts and low morale.
- Participants will learn strategies to affect positive change in their organizations and assist in stronger buy-in with the organization’s mission and vision to create and maintain a healthier organizational culture.

Course Overview
We are all, by our very nature, storytellers. In the ways you communicate your thoughts with others, in what you tell yourself, or in how you navigate change, interpersonal dynamics, and your own fears, whether you realize it or not, you are a master at the art of story. By developing a deeper understanding of the nature of story, and how stories affect your life, both positively and negatively, you can gain greater clarity and break free of any patterns or unhealthy dynamics that seem to keep you stuck. Using journaling, mindfulness, storytelling, creativity, and guided journeying, this course will give you an opportunity to explore your own deeply held stories, as well as help you to see and navigate the web of stories around you, to create a healthier life and school environment, and a more authentic, freer you.
This course is for all educators of all grade levels.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will identify their own stories which are keeping them stuck, or in thought patterns that may be restricting growth personally and professionally.
2. Participants will explore the web of stories that others may be carrying around them and help to unravel the dynamics at home and at school.
3. Participants will learn strategies to support themselves and their colleagues to rebalance the narratives creating interpersonal conflicts and unhealthy patterns.
4. Participants will gain more clarity and a greater sense of freedom from the power their constrictive stories are having on their lives.
I’ll be presenting a talk called: “Unstorying the Shadow: A Mythic Journey Through the Hidden Stories that Keep us Stuck” on Friday, November 8th at 4:45pm.
When we think of the Shadow, we often conjure up spectral images of foreboding characters following us, ready to strike out to scare or harm us. But perhaps it is in that resistance to it, and the potential for fear that it evokes, that we misunderstand its true power? Shadow is simply hidden away from us…by us. What if we were brave enough to finally face it? And yes, there may be old wounds and pain loitering in that space, but Jung offered us the promise of the golden shadow as well; the beauty and gifts that lie dormant within that space; the skills and talents and characteristics we’ve pushed away because we felt they were “not good enough,” “wrong,” or judged as being “foolish?” Where are those hidden places residing in us, and how do we find our way in? And once found, how do we use that awareness to move towards a deeper sense of wholeness?
In this presentation, we’ll look at what it means to Unstory our Self. How do we see those stories more clearly if they are so hidden from our sight? We will explore such mythic characters as Medusa and her offspring Pegasus and Chrysaor, who demonstrate that even through trauma and betrayal, both a wellspring of creative inspiration and a conqueror of monsters can emerge, as well as the figure of Baba Yaga and her threshold questions, beckoning us to face the Shadow she represents. Through these stories, we find ourselves journeying into the dark parts to find the gold within, and perhaps, discover an even bigger well of light than we could ever have imagined. The Shadow offers an avenue for integration; an opportunity to see the strengths hidden from us; and an opportunity to become more of who we are, if we are willing to face that Shadow within.

One of the most basic and fundamental jobs of the mind is to construct stories. We create so many stories about who we are, who others are, and why things are happening in our world, but how often do we question our own stories and where they come from?
In this two-hour workshop, explore your Shadow with the Jungian-based, combined with nondual awareness and inner journeying, process of Unstorying™ and glimpse what lies beneath the surface, bringing more clarity, resilience, compassion, creativity, and a sense of wholeness to your life. The workshop includes storytelling, creative exercises, journaling, and guided visualization, Please bring a journal!
Join Nicole K. Miller, PhD, of Minding the Story, as we explore the mythic-ness of our own life’s story. The relationships you navigate, the ups, the downs, the challenges, and the triumphs, can all be seen so clearly when you look more deeply into these potent ancient mythic narratives and motifs in this Jungian version of personal mythos used in narrative coaching.
In this workshop, we will use well‐known mythology, such as Greek, Indian, Babylonian, and Arthurian legends, among others, and a version of the Hero Journey motif to find and identify the stories you are living now. We will look at the mythic stories that speak to you, and the ones that knowingly, or unknowingly, have formed the framework of your life.
Through creative writing exercises and journaling, as well as a group discussion and guided visualization, you will gain deeper insights into the archetypal images and stories that make you, you. Please bring a journal!
Shadow work looks deeply into the stories we’ve created about ourselves and others, the ones that we know, and the ones we’ve long forgotten. Left unmet, these stories hold a power over you that can sabotage, derail, and cloud the light within you. Through these simple Jungian and nondual-based techniques and exercises, you can break free of their hold and more fully remember and embrace who you are.
Please bring a journal!

How many stories have you told yourself today? We create a plethora of stories about who we are, who others are, and about things that are happening in our world. But how often do we question our own stories?

Ever ask yourself:
“Why do I keep repeating the same old patterns and unnecessary emotional drama?”
“Why can’t I create the life I wish for?”
“Why do I second guess my inherent creativity?”
While the shadow is a place that can contain these hidden constricting messages and old wounds, it also carries our unexpressed gifts and talents that we’ve long buried away. This is our golden shadow.
Join Dr Nicole K. Miller to examine the stories that arise within you when you begin to work with these hidden elements. Uncover another layer of yourself and start embracing those parts of you that you’ve left in the dark.
Part I:
In this 90-minute workshop, Nicole will foster a starting place of exploration and provide an opportunity to shine a light onto the freedom, creativity and wholeness that have always been there, but merely pushed out of sight and into the shadow.
Part II:
In this follow-up workshop, we will check back in on the shadow work process and delve deeper into the stories we carry about our dreams, aspirations, talents and innate creativity.
In another journeying exercise, we will explore the stories that arise when we step forward to express ourselves, following our heart callings and the connection between shadow work, and surrendering to what is.
This event is free to premium members of The Fifth Direction. You can also gain access at no cost by signing up for a free trial or purchase a day pass for 18 AUD.

While we usually think of the shadow psyche as a place that contains our pain and old hurts, our shadow stories also carry tales of missed opportunities. These can take the form of repressed creative expression, aspirations, and hopes we’ve long since buried.
Maybe we took on the early belief that following our artistic heart is too frivolous of a career, and instead were steered into a more “practical” path. If we haven’t also continued to express ourselves along the way with a creative outlet, that talent and energy become trapped in our psyche, and molded into a personal identity beset by frustration and plagued by the feeling of a lack of fulfillment. Or perhaps, there’s a deep desire or aspiration we never explored, something that fell to the wayside and into the shadows when we decided we would never succeed.
By examining the stories that arise within you when you think about these missed opportunities, you can uncover another layer of your shadow, and start embracing those parts of you you’ve left in the dark.
