What if courage isn’t about getting rid of fear, but learning to understand it and deciding what we want to carry alongside it?

Join Resilient Stories at Barjon’s for a Halloween-inspired creative reflection experience exploring fear, courage, self-trust, and becoming. Together, we’ll explore how fear can protect us, how it can quietly start making decisions for us, and how we can learn to recognize the difference.

As part of the experience, you’ll create your own intention orb, layering dried botanicals, herbs, petals, and crystal elements chosen for their traditional symbolism. You’ll also add a personal written intention. Think of this as a reminder of what you want to reach for when fear gets loud, whether that’s courage, grounding, clarity, connection, or trust in yourself.

Along the way, we’ll pause for guided reflection and conversation about the fears we carry, the masks we sometimes wear to feel safe, and the question: Is this fear protecting me or holding me back?

No artistic experience is needed, and sharing is always optional. Come create, reflect, connect, and leave with a meaningful piece designed to remind you that fear can have a voice without having the final say.

This is more than a craft—it’s a space to reflect, connect, and come home to yourself.
