Gift of
Reflection and Connection
Every single part of the process is meaningful for me. It takes a long time and made way for a big piece of my puzzle to come through. I have meaning. Beyond Stillness reminds me I am not alone. I have a purpose. We all need each other. This storycrafting process needs to be part of therapy and groups. It’s needed. If my story touches one person, it’s worth it. Don’t stop what you are doing. Go out there and let people know they have a story to tell. - Virgil Robinson
Your gift accompanies stroke survivors as they

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
