Inword: Word Play and Self Discovery Workshop
INWORD: Word Play & Self-Discovery
A reflective workshop with Marina Dempster + Danette Relic, creators of the INWORD Oracle Deck
INWORD is an experiential workshop exploring language as a doorway into self-discovery, insight, and transformation. Through guided word play, symbolic exploration, and reflective exercises, participants will uncover how language can shift perspective, reveal hidden patterns, and reconnect us with the deeper truths of the self.
At the heart of this experience is an exploration of the many “selves” we express — and the possibility of hearing the quieter voice beneath them: the core self. Through language, symbolism, and reflection, we begin to notice how our everyday words can reveal the stories, identities, and unconscious patterns shaping our inner world.
Hosted in the new Third Space at New Pathways Clinic, this gathering is designed for therapists, coaches, helping professionals, and curious seekers interested in expanding the ways they listen, reflect, and facilitate insight with clients — while deepening their own self-awareness in the process.
Together, we’ll explore:
• symbolic and intuitive approaches to language
• how word associations can reveal unconscious themes and inner narratives
• the relationship between language, identity, and the many selves we embody
• creative ways to invite perspective shifts in therapeutic and coaching conversations
• tools for personal reflection, emotional insight, and deeper curiosity
This is not about finding “right” interpretations. It’s about discovering how our everyday words can become a living mirror — offering new ways to understand ourselves, hear the wisdom of the core self, and support meaningful insight in others.
Participants will leave with fresh reflective tools, renewed creative perspective, and practical ways to integrate symbolic language play into client work, group facilitation, or personal practice.
Come curious. Leave with new ways of seeing.
