# Event Details - **Event Name**: Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: An ongoing, facilitated inquiry into the narratives we live by.About this EventThe word "elderhood" conjures stories and images which uniquely illuminate the character of our current times. The way we treat elders, the degree to which we acknowledge them, and whether we even recognize them (or recognize elderhood itself), says a great deal about the collective story we've chosen.There's a steadily growing curiosity, longing, and felt necessity for elders in the modern age, but how do we find them? How do we recognize elderhood when we've not been taught to value it as a culture? What role does witness play in creating elderhood?These are some of the questions we'll be exploring at this gathering. There will be sharing of stories, time for writing, discussion, and reflection.---Stories define and make our lives—both individually and collectively. Many of the stories we live by operate quietly in the background, shaping perception, meaning, and relationship.Cartographies of Story is an and ongoing facilitated inquiry into these living narratives. Together, we’ll cultivate curiosity and attentiveness toward the stories that shape us, experimenting with how we create and receive them.This month we’ll be working with the themes of kinship & ceremony- How do these reveal ourselves to ourselves and to each other? What happens when we step into living as a ceremony?This is a gathering for those drawn to story as terrain rather than product. It's a space for people working with story, memory, and meaning—writers, artists, thinkers; for those who are curious about story beyond craft or diagnosis; for those interested in story as ecology, memory, and movement.Each gathering offers simple practices for orientation, attention, and exchange. This is not a class, nor a therapy space, nor a lecture, but a participatory exploration—one that invites presence, reflection, and dialogue. Each gathering offers a shared field for noticing how meaning emerges, and for engaging the inherently relational nature of being human.Come as a listener, a teller, or a witness.This session will be co-facilitated by Dennis Coyne and A Peace of My Mind's Nick Theisen (see bios below). - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/saint-paul/cartographies-of-story-seeking-the-story-of-elderhood/100001983822052161 - **Event Categories**: Art, Workshops, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Saint Paul - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: 550 Vandalia St unit 170 - **lat**: 44.957445 - **long**: -93.1908866 - **full address**: 550 Vandalia St unit 170, 550 Vandalia Street, Saint Paul, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ba3ff35c69d7e011eb2a6264730c661cdddfe322bfa2d402c986c2cd79a02690-rimg-w1200-h600-dcebe0d0-gmir.jpg?v=1772335452 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood being held? - **A:** Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood takes place on Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 550 Vandalia St unit 170, 550 Vandalia Street, Saint Paul, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood? - **A:** Cartographies of Story: Seeking the story of Elderhood is organized by A Peace of My Mind. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
