Illuminated Stories After Stroke - Portland, OR

Join local stroke survivors, their families, and healthcare professionals for an evening featuring seven Oregon stroke survivors sharing their intentionally crafted seven-minute personal stories of wisdom, purpose, connection, and hope after stroke.
Each storyteller participated in the Illuminated Stories After Stroke workshop, dedicating seven weeks to reflecting, reframing, and reclaiming their experiences. Through this process, they moved from asking, “What happened to me?” to exploring, “Who am I becoming?”
We welcome the community to reflect, connect, and celebrate the wisdom that emerges through lived experience. Every story is unique, yet the threads of resilience, courage, and hope remind us of our shared humanity. Together, we illuminate the stories that connect us.
