Gatherings
Relationship Transformed Conversation
This conversation is for survivors and their spouses ready to talk about their relationship, not just the diagnosis. Built around three movements — who we each became, the gap nobody talks about, and what "reclaiming" could actually look like — it's practical and grounded in lived experience. Survivor Brandon and Carepartner Lindsey of BeyondThis.org will engage participants so they leave with language for what they've been feeling and a clear sense of what structured relationship support could look like.
We will meet Thursday, June 4th from 4-6pm PST

Poetry Monthly Gatherings
Aphasia Forward and Beyond Stillness welcome stroke and TBI survivors to play with words, explore feelings, and connect with one another. No poetry experience needed — just a love of language and a desire to express what's in your heart. The group is led by storytellers Sue Phipps and Cindy Lam Walker, Aphasia Forward Founder.
We meet the fourth Tuesday of each month from 2-3pm PST.
This is a list of groups led by storytellers who have completed the Beyond Stillness Group Facilitator Training Course and compassionately support their group members through the lens of wisdom, purpose, connection, and hope. They create intentional space for storytelling and reflection.
