Immerse yourself in a unique ritual designed for readers seeking more than just an escape. This event guides you through the 4-step Inner-Read Ritual (R.E.A.D.), helping you connect deeply with your favourite stories and your own inner self.
Discover how to bridge the gap between fiction and your reality, turning narrative into a powerful tool for personal growth and emotional healing. This is not a self-help task but an empowering experience to honour your heart.
Expect to leave with practical tools to replace self-doubt with clarity and confidence, using fictional stories as a catalyst for your own journey.
The session is led by Jodie Benveniste, an Adelaide-based author and psychologist known for her heartfelt young adult contemporary romance novels. She integrates psychological models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her work.
You will learn:
- How to cure the fiction hangover by connecting stories to your life
- Ways to use fictional narratives for personal growth
- A simple ritual to build deep self-trust and confidence
