"Start Within: Explore Your Story from the Inside Out”

featuring  Xanthe Golenko and Jode Brexa

A free zoom gathering for an inspiring, empowering experience brought to you by the 333 Collective

Join us for a heartfelt, 90-minute guided session.

You will reflect, reconnect, and begin shaping the story only you can tell.

Whether you're holding onto a memory, a photo, or a moment that still lingers —

this is your invitation to let it speak.

We all have stories to tell…. join us to be inspired to share yours…..

What You'll Experience:

  • Meet Your Hosts: Xanthe and Jode are co-creators and storykeepers who came together through the practice of "digital storytelling."

  • Guided Reflection: Drop into memory with an activity to awaken a story you’ve carried quietly. Maybe for years.

  • Story Sharing: Share a moment, image, or emotion that surfaced — and listen deeply in return.

  • What is Digital Storytelling? An Introduction: Learn how voice, images, and music can bring your personal story to life 

  • Reflection: Leave with a story seed — and a warm invitation to go deeper 

This is for you, if: 

  • You have a story inside (even if you’ve never told it)

  • You want to explore how memory, image, and meaning come together

  • You long for a space of connection, listening, and inspiration
