Soul Stories
Soul stories is a collaborative effort between Joey Paynter and Jennifer Lothrigel. A soul story comes from within and shares a vital aspect of the life to whom the story belongs. We work together with you to identify different parts of the self that are currently active and sometimes the ones that have been disowned in your personal story.
Through a brief consultation we begin to assess which part wants to come forth. We then identify the location and from there we will create with you on how your self would dress, talk, move, and express. We photograph and video the entire process while you enact and embody the personified expression. During the whole exploration we both hold space and support your inner journey of reclaiming different parts of your psyche. Once the process feels complete, we then put together a video and send you pictures so that you can become a witness to your own story.
If you are interested in creating your own soul story with us, please contact me for details and pricing. We are located in both Southern California and also in the San Francisco Bay area, but we are available for travel.
