PARTICIPATE IN YOUR OWN HEALING JOURNEY

What This Workshop Is

This is a gentle, trauma-informed storytelling preparation workshop, not a requirement or audition.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Making sense of your TED journey in your own words
• Communicating your experience with clarity and confidence
• Understanding different storytelling formats (written, conversation, video, panels)
• Creative expression through art — because not all stories are best told with words

You are always in control of what you share, how much you share, and whether you share at all.

Workshop Format

• 4 virtual evening sessions (1 hour each)
• Light pre-work before each session (30–60 minutes)
• Fully virtual
• No cost to participate

Workshops are offered twice per year (spring and fall).

After the Workshop

Participants who complete all four sessions will:

• Receive a Certificate of Completion
• Be invited into an inner circle of future storytelling opportunities, such as:
o Interviews
o Focus groups
o Webinars
o Educational videos
o Media or advocacy requests

Participation in any future opportunity is always optional and consent-based.

Participants may also choose to:

• Share their story anonymously on the TED Community website
• Or collaborate on a video for the TED Community YouTube channel

International Participation

• If interest from outside the U.S. is strong, we will schedule a Europe-friendly session
