About this meeting
There's Gold in Your Story© is a warm, welcoming online writing group that offers a safe, non-judgmental community where writing creates space for self-discovery, healing, insight, and personal growth. By listening carefully with our whole selves and writing, we strengthen our attention, find our sweet spot of resilience, and make soulful connections in a safe community.
Through writing, we weave golden threads of hope and connection within a creative community that offers emotional depth and healing, celebrating the unique stories each member brings. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting, our supportive community offers a space to share, create, heal, grow, and find the transformation you need to thrive. ©
What to Expect: Inspiring readings, teaching, timed writing practice, thoughtful feedback, and heartfelt conversations that uncover the gold in every story.
When We Meet: Meetings are held weekly on the Hey Peers platform, on Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. EST. Meetings will last for 1.5 hours (90 minutes). Cost is $5.00 per session.
Tools Needed: Please bring a notebook/journal and a pen, a comfy place to write, coffee, and courage. Let's discover the gold in your story together.
Created and facilitated by: Madonna A., Rev., M.Div., CSD, Chaplain, CADC, CPSS, Clinical Therapeutic Musician©
Group Guidelines: 1. We are responsible for keeping this group a safe and supportive sanctuary to explore new insights for creativity and healing in our unique writing practice. 2. To keep this a safe place for everyone to share, confidentiality and trust are essential. We listen with loving kindness and speak with respect and kindness, without judgment. 3. The author is the expert on their own story and chooses what to share and how to tell it. 4. Keep shares brief, so everyone has an opportunity to share. 5. To keep this group safe and focused on writing, refrain from sharing explicit violence or sexual content. To maintain a safe and welcoming environment, refrain from persuasive, political, or religious speech, including proselytizing. Sharing personal expressions of your own spirituality is welcome.
About the host
Blessings of deep peace be with you. I'm grateful you are here.
I am Madonna ~ mother, grandmother, teacher of beautiful things, encourager of spirit, story keeper, companion, and someone who has known both the unendurable and the quiet turn toward joy. " … The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.”
I have spent many years with people carrying more than they believed they could, enduring the quiet exhaustion of simply trying to stay well. I am here as a peer who has walked the dark edges of sorrow and encountered sweet mercy. I have learned that healing often begins the moment someone’s story is met with kindness and belief. I hope to see you soon in my groups and in specialized one-to-one care and support.
If you would like a safe, confidential place to meet for specialized one-to-one support, I am accepting new connections. Please request to be added as a contact using the “Connect” button, and we can begin the conversation your soul has been yearning for. We can begin exactly where you are, at the pace your heart can hold. I know how heavy life can feel, and you don't have to face life's edges alone. We are held, even when we cannot feel it.
I walk this path as a believer who trusts the Light that dispels all darkness, knowing that Light arrives in beautiful, unexpected ways. The compassionate spiritual care I provide supports spiritual growth through faith-rooted soul care, recognizing that spiritual abuse and church hurt are very real for many. I am a Messianic Christian, coming from a long line of Indigenous healers with a living trust in our Creator, Sustainer, and Healer. “What delight comes to the one who follows God's ways.”
Deep peace,
Madonna

Motivation for help
I have been to the dark edges of deep sorrow and pain, and I have been brought to a sacred garden of joy and peace. My life is a story full of hope on this journey, and I’ve found that there is healing in the sharing our stories, more importantly, having our stories witnessed and believed is when the power of healing begins to arrive.
