The Power of Storytelling Workshop
Your Story Matters. Let’s Bring It to Life.
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Arrival: 12:45 PM | Workshop: 1:00–4:30 PM
The Munro | Finger Lakes, New York
Every meaningful book begins with a story. Every powerful message holds the potential to inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impression. Every creative vision carries the possibility of making a meaningful impact.
What if you gave your story the space and inspiration to bring it to life?
Drawing on more than two decades of experience in publishing and publicity, join four-time award-winning and best-selling author, national publicist, and transformational coach Laura Ponticello for an inspiring, interactive afternoon of storytelling, creative exploration, meaningful connection, and practical insights to help move your book, story or creative vision forward.
Who Is This For?
Have you always wanted to write a book but wondered where to begin?
Is there a story living within you, a truth you feel called to share, or a message you know deserves to be heard?
Maybe you’re working on a manuscript, have already published a book, or have a creative project you’re ready to share with greater impact.
Whether you’re just beginning, exploring what’s possible, or ready for the next leap forward, this workshop is for you.
Three Powerful Experiences. One Inspiring Afternoon.
Part One: Connect & Discover
Community. Creativity. Intention.
Connect with others in an inspiring, supportive environment. Set intentions and awaken your creativity through interactive writing prompts, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
Part Two: The Creative Birthing Process
Bring Your Story, Message, or Creative Vision to Life.
Every story has a heartbeat. What truth do you want to share? What do you want others to feel long after experiencing your work?
Through interactive writing prompts and creative exploration, discover the emotional arc of storytelling and give your story, message, or creative project greater depth and direction.
Part Three: From Storytelling to Marketplace
Sharing Your Story With Intention and Impact.
How do you connect with the audience your story is meant to reach? How do you share your message in a way that inspires and empowers?
Drawing on her publishing and publicity expertise, Laura shares practical insights into identifying your target audience, positioning your work, exploring publishing opportunities, and building authentic visibility.
Bonus, Creative Resources to Continue Your Journey
Enjoy curated writing prompts, creative exercises, and access to downloadable resources from the Divine Phoenix Creativity Toolkit to support your creative journey beyond the workshop.
A coffee and tea station, shareable snacks, and a cookie platter will be available throughout the afternoon. Along with a welcoming supportive environment.
