How It Works
Before the Workshop:
Walk through your home, workplace, or outdoors and photograph 12 things that represent who you are. A garden. A keepsake. Your favorite book. A vista that moves you. Whatever calls to you.
During the Workshop:
Pair up with another participant and share the story behind each image. As you speak about what you chose and why, your partner captures key words and themes on sticky notes—anything that stands out as interesting or remarkable.
After sharing all 12 stories, you'll work together to identify recurring patterns. These themes reveal your motivational drivers: what you believe, value, and are passionate about.
Community unlocks insight. When others witness your stories, hidden patterns emerge that you can't see on your own.

What Participants Say
“My favorite parts of the workshop was getting a little distance and a different perspective on myself. I really loved hearing my partner's reflection back and furthering the items I was struggling to articulate myself. I also really appreciated Maryann’s ability to reflect and further themes— she builds fascinating connections in her brain that enable all the pieces to come together.” Sara Chapin, workshop participant
“I highly recommend Maryann's workshop to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of their own passions, strengths and how this might be applied to what the world needs… The various sessions and exercises were expertly guided, and very well constructed so as to give attendees a seamless and thought provoking experience.” Stephen O'Connor
“I am so glad I took Maryann's Workshop. It's the type of work we all need to do for ourselves but never do. I learned a lot about myself as we progressed through the exercises. Maryann is so patient and insightful.” Lynn Dowling
