Illuminated Stories After Stroke

We Invite Your Partnership

Your partnership brings Illuminated Stories After Stroke to the stage in the Bay Area, an evening to honor local survivors who have dedicated seven weeks to reflect, reframe, and reclaim their stories to support and inspire fellow survivors through intentional reflection, storytelling, and community engagement.

Your partnership sustains our programs that:

  • Facilitate personalized reflection sessions with stroke survivors.

  • Assist stroke survivors in crafting and sharing their stories.

  • Foster group reflection, workshops, and retreat experiences.

The journey doesn’t end at publication. Most Storytellers go on to volunteer in their communities,
and over 90% stay engaged with Beyond Stillness after their story’s publication.

How all Contributions to Beyond Stillness are allocated:

While collaborating with Beyond Stillness, I was always at peace.  The storycrafting process helped me identify catalyst moments in my recovery which I will share with others going forward.  I am convinced now, more than ever, that my unique story has a purpose.  I was amazed at how many life lessons I learned through my recovery journey.  I highly recommend this reflective storycrafting process to stroke survivors.  They themselves will benefit from the introspection and, just as importantly, they will realize they can make a difference in other's lives - just by being their authentic self. - Eric Anderson

This was the first time that I spent time reviewing the events surrounding my stroke and my recovery journey. I now have a newfound love and respect for myself, and I am more encouraged to share my stroke story with others. I have found my stroke voice.  As more and more people start to experience strokes, it is important to let others know they are not alone. Help them break their silence and build a stronger community. - Dr. Simbi Animashaun

Through this process I realized that recovery is not going back to your old self, it’s a new unique you. - Frida Swenson

I really enjoyed the process…it made me remember how strong I really am.  It made me very, very proud of myself and want to share more.  Now, I want to find more ways to help others.  This process was so awesome! - Karla Bigornia
