Knowing who you are (your identity) is the platform for creating a life that truly suits you. Your interests, intelligence, passions, etc. are all facets of your identity that, once clarified, become the driving factors for you to make better educational, vocational, relational, and lifestyle decisions. This workshop breaks down the basic path for this understanding by looking at:

• Identity mapping

• Finding themes and connections

• Creating new narratives

• Caveats and challenges

As an overview, the workshop provides a conversational approach to mapping your identity into a living narrative. From there, online resources will be provided which enable you and your community to flesh out that story at your own pace.
