🌟 Spark to Heal: A Storytelling Symposium
đź“… December 2, 2025
🕰 8:30 AM–5:00 PM
📍 St. John’s United | Kathy Lillis Chapel | Billings, MT
Hosted by Resilient Stories and Upstream Strategy Partners, Spark to Heal is a full-day immersive storytelling symposium designed to harness the power of personal narrative as a tool for healing, connection, and growth.
This event is for anyone who believes in the transformative power of vulnerability—whether you're a speaker, a writer, a leader, a survivor, or simply someone learning to speak their truth.
Through curated talks, reflective exercises, and opportunities to connect deeply with others, attendees will explore how sharing stories creates space for both individual healing and collective empowerment.
Why We're Doing This:
Because storytelling is how we make sense of the hard things. It’s how we bridge the gap between isolation and belonging. And when people are brave enough to speak from the heart, change begins—both within and around us.
What You'll Experience:
✨ Inspiring short-form talks that blend personal stories with powerful insights, along with raw, real speaker sessions
✨ Guided reflections and small group sharing
✨ Collaborative community-building
✨ Beautiful moments of truth-telling, resilience, and release
Who It Benefits, Beyond the Attendees:
A portion of the proceeds will support nonprofits like The Worthy Ranch, Operation Juliet, Project Christmas Miracle, and Overdose Awareness MT.
This is a mission-driven event—and we want to make it accessible, impactful, and inclusive. We’re also currently seeking sponsors—both businesses and community partners—who want to uplift voices and give back in a way that truly matters.
💬 Speaker applications open July 1st–August 31st
🎟 Tickets go on sale September 1st
Let this be the spark that helps someone heal—maybe even you.
