Kepos Story Groups
Story Groups are small, guided communities where you can explore your story with courage, compassion, and care. In these intimate gatherings (typically 4-8 participants), you'll learn to write and share parts of your story, recognize patterns that have shaped your life, and listen to others' stories with empathy and curiosity.
​
Groups meet either weekly over 8-10 weeks or across two immersive weekends (beginning with two weeknight preparation sessions). Both in person (metro Atlanta) and virtual options are available.
​
Each group is facilitated by a trained guide and grounded in respect, confidentiality, and integrity, creating a trusted community where healing and growth can take root. Consistent participation is essential, as connection deepens and transformation unfolds over time.
Upcoming Story Groups
The Seedbed: For Beginners
Spring 2026
In-person at Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia
A safe and sacred beginning place for healing to take root
​
The Seedbed is a starting point for story work. It’s a nurturing group designed for those new to this journey. Many of us carry emotional wounds from early life that still shape how we relate to ourselves and others. These unhealed places can keep us bound to patterns of striving, self-protection, or disconnection.
​​​​​
RESTORING OUR ROOTS: a SACRED SPACE FOR RACIAL HEALING
Fall 2026
For those longing to explore the deeper layers of identity and belonging
​
Restoring Our Roots is a sacred small-group experience for people from historically marginalized communities, including Black, Indigenous, Latino/a, Asian/Pacific Islander and multiracial individuals who want a safe space to explore their formative stories, especially those shaped by racial trauma or cultural abuse.

Individual Story Coaching
For those who desire more personalized attention or need to work through specific themes at their own pace, individual story coaching offers one-on-one sessions with a trained guide.
​
Through a series of private sessions, you'll dive deeper into pivotal experiences and recurring patterns in your life. Individual coaching is ideal for those who:
​
-
Prefer a more private setting for story work
-
Want to explore specific themes (childhood trauma, family of origin/attachment wounds, cultural identity, grief)
-
Need flexibility in scheduling
-
Have already completed a story group and want to continue the work
​
Sessions are tailored to your story and pace, integrating trauma-informed narrative methods with spiritual care.

Speaking & Workshops
Kepos offers workshops and speaking engagements for organizations, churches, and nonprofits seeking to foster deeper unity, empathy, and emotional health among their teams or communities. From one-hour presentations to half-day and full-day workshops, keynote addresses, or intimate small-group sessions, each experience can be tailored to your needs.
​

​
-
Building empathy and connection in diverse teams
-
Understanding and healing racial wounds
-
Creating trauma-informed communities
-
Your story and the gospel

RESTORING OUR ROOTS:
A SACRED SPACE FOR Racial HEALING
Fall 2026
For those longing to explore the deeper layers of identity and belonging
​
Restoring our Roots is a sacred small-group experience for people from historically marginalized communities,
including Black, Indigenous, Latino/a, Asian/Pacific Islander, and multiracial individuals who want a
safe space to explore their formative stories, especially those shaped by racial trauma or cultural abuse.
​​
Many who carry stories of racial trauma or cultural abuse know what it means to adapt, survive,
and silence parts of themselves to belong. These experiences take root in our bodies and stories,
shaping how we see ourselves and engage the world.
​​
In this group, we tend to those wounds formed in places of exclusion, shame, and misunderstanding
with honor, compassion, and courage. Through the trauma-informed framework of The Allender Center,
we create space for group participants to name the harm, trace its impact, and imagine
what healing could look like in their racial and cultural stories.​
​
Prior story work experience is helpful but not required. You are welcome to begin here.
​
You'll Experience:
-
A safe, attuned, identity-affirming community
-
Guided engagement with stories of racial and cultural harm
-
Exploration of how systemic racism has shaped your story
-
Practices for grounding, reflection, and spiritual integration
-
Opportunities to offer a compassionate witness to others
Peacemakers: Fostering Racial Reconciliation
For those passionate about pursuing unity across racial lines
Peacemakers is a gospel-centered small-group experience that provides space for people of all backgrounds to courageously engage their personal stories around race and ethnicity, opening pathways for emotional healing
and authentic racial reconciliation.
Each participant writes about a formative childhood event involving race or ethnicity and shares it with the group.
Guided by a trained facilitator, the group explores that story together with empathy and curiosity.
​
God desires His Church to be one, yet racial division remains. At Kepos, we believe that reconcilers desiring
biblical unity must tend to their own racial wounds so they can be peacemakers amid tension. Healing and
freedom are found through the sacred act of sharing our stories with compassionate listeners.
​
*Prior story work experience required.
Peacemakers will be offered when enough interested participants are available and ready to commit to this unique offering. Click the link below to express your interest and join the waiting list.
