Burnett-Bayland Committee: Story Practicum

Story Practicum – Unearthing You

This Story Practicum invites attendees to "hold and show their stories" through practices and tools of presence, inner listening, and story shaping. Nothing holds a person in its palms like stories; nothing shapes them like stories’ fingertips.

The Youth learn to:

Hold their stories with compassion and awareness

Listen to their inner narratives with curiosity

Shape those narratives into forms that empower healing and growth

Led by Fulbright Specialist and Anthropologist Marlon F. Hall, this practicum is an embodied, story-centered experience designed to help students not only survive—but *thrive.* Through guided reflection, film, and embodied exercises, participants become both storytellers and story-listeners of their own lives. The aim is for students to unearth who they are, deconstruct what they do, and remember why they must succeed—using the ancient technology of story as both mirror and map.
