At Finding Hidden Courage our 12 interviews provide a sense of personal journeys experienced by our contributors.  Through personal loss and finding the courage to move on, our contributors share what happened, how they responded, the steps they took to heal and the life purpose they found as a result.

It is our most sincere hope that you will identify with each person’s story, find inspiration, and be guided to a deeper and more enriched appreciation for your own unique journey.  We want you to know that you are not alone and we are with you on this healing path.  

The Process

Each interview was videotaped and included expressive art that was created as a vehicle for healing. This process began with meditation to access deeper consciousness, allowing for more freedom to express emotions held more deeply.  They were encouraged to access their emotions through the utilization of art materials.  Upon completing their own symbolic art expressions, they shared and discussed within the group as a further means for healing.  There were three pieces created for each of the participants with brief descriptions for each piece. You can click on any of the pictures to be directed to their individual stories where you can read and watch how they found their hidden courage.

Expression #1:  Created by Liz as a symbolic expression of their journey.

Expression #2:  Created by each participant to express their feelings from their journey. 

Expression #3:  The last piece represented Liz’ overall expression of both their story and their artwork.
