SUMMARY:Is It True? Questioning the Stories\, Assumptions\, and Beliefs That Shape Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:How often do we mistake our interpretations for reality? \nSee blog post: https://marielsomatictherapy.com/hold-it-up-to-the-light-a-simple-practice-for-questioning-the-stories-we-tell-ourselves/ \nA friend doesn’t return a text. A conversation feels awkward. A plan falls apart. Within moments\, our minds begin weaving stories\, drawing conclusions\, and making assumptions. Some of those stories serve us well. Others quietly limit our freedom\, our relationships\, and our sense of what’s possible. What if we learned to hold those stories gently up to the light and ask a simple question: Is it true? \nJoin us for an engaging and highly experiential evening of self-discovery as we explore the powerful role that thoughts\, assumptions\, and beliefs play in shaping our experience. Through a series of individual reflections\, paired conversations\, small-group exercises\, and full-group sharing\, we’ll examine some of the stories we tell ourselves and discover practical ways to question them. \nDrawing inspiration from cognitive behavioural techniques\, mindfulness\, self-inquiry practices\, and decades of personal growth work\, this evening is designed to be practical\, accessible\, and immediately useful. Rather than focusing on theory\, we’ll learn by doing. \nTogether we’ll explore questions such as: \n• How do our assumptions influence what we notice and how we respond? \n• What happens when we challenge a long-held belief? \n• How can we distinguish between facts and the stories we create about them? \n• What new possibilities become available when we loosen our grip on certainty? \nYou may leave with greater clarity\, fresh perspectives on familiar challenges\, and a simple process you can continue using long after the evening ends. \nNo previous experience is required. Just bring your curiosity. \nAbout Wonderful Wednesdays \nWonderful Wednesdays is a weekly community gathering where we share food\, meaningful conversation\, personal growth\, and practical tools for living more consciously and connectedly. Each evening explores a different topic through discussion\, experiential exercises\, and authentic dialogue. \nDate & Time \nWednesday\, July 8\, 2026 \nPotluck: 6:30 PM \nCircle: 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM \nContribution \nWonderful Wednesdays is a community-supported event. Please bring a healthy food contribution for our potluck and consider making a financial contribution that reflects the value you receive and your desire to help sustain future gatherings. \nMost participants contribute between $10 and $25\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
