About this Event
Are you ready to step beyond wishing and into creating? Join us for a 90-minute circle designed to help you align with your deepest intentions and magnify the energy behind your dreams. Together, through techniques based in somatics and the expressive arts, we’ll move from simply thinking about what we want to truly embodying it. ✨
Through guided practice we will harness the power of collective energy and each participant will have dedicated time for the group to hold and magnify their intentions. As we focus together, your vision gains momentum, strength, and clarity—carried not only by your own belief, but by the supportive field we create as a community.

✨ Led by Janna Browning
Janna Browning, MA, PRDT is a seasoned Trauma-Informed Drama Therapist, Expressive Arts Practitioner, Director, and Facilitator with Healing the Wounds of History (HWH) and Co-Founder of Integrative StoryWorks (ISW). She received her BFA in Acting from Emerson College in Boston and her MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
In California, she worked with Armand Volkas in Healing the Wounds of History, which uses expressive arts therapy to bring together groups who share a legacy of historical trauma. Her work with HWH includes groundbreaking projects uniting Armenians and Turks to address the shared legacy of the Armenian Genocide, as well as facilitating dialogue and healing around the historical traumas of Palestinians and Israelis, the conflict in Northern Ireland, and the deep racial wounds of the United States.
Janna has also worked with Community Performance International, a company specializing in community building across lines of difference, using the stories of a community in large-scale theatre performances. She helped develop Community Story Performances in towns across the South and created programming for schools. In 2011, she co-founded the StoryTown Program in Jonesborough, TN, which continues to this day.
As a grief practitioner, Janna brings her trauma-informed drama therapy expertise into the realm of community grief-tending—facilitating monthly grief rituals, keening circles, and embodied expressive arts processes to help individuals and communities honor loss, release what can no longer be carried, and make space for renewal. Her grief work draws from ancestral Celtic traditions, trauma-informed expressive arts, and ritual-based collective healing practices.
She is co-founder of Integrative StoryWorks, a company that uses personal stories to heal individual and collective wounds, as well as StoryWander Travel, which offers escorted, story-based small group travel experiences.
