About Me
Hi, I’m Katerina Evans
I’m a writer, an artist, a Mom. I’m a wife, a sister, a daughter. I’m a holder of sacred space and a storyteller and a believer in the power of community and true belonging.
Sharing Our Stories can be life- changing
For the longest time, I thought I could only share parts of my story. I walked through the world as a fragment of myself. As a sexual abuse survivor, I learned to forget and hide my unacceptable parts, which meant I could never be whole.
Through my work and my travels, I’ve learned that too many of us do this. It’s a survival tactic. We build layers and layers of protection over the years in order to feel like we belong. But it’s not true belonging. And that isn’t living in full aliveness.
It’s when I started sharing my story, without hiding, without shame, that I started connecting to people in a whole new way. In the last few years, I even testified in court about my story. I crossed a threshold into a whole new way of being.
And you know what I discovered?
Each time I share authentically, others do too.
Our stories matter
I’m in a whole new world now. It’s amazing, really, what sharing our stories can do. But we must learn to share our stories in loving and compassionate ways. It’s more than telling; it’s holding and releasing. It’s expansion and contraction. It’s love.
Storytelling, the healing kind of storytelling, is an art.
I’m on a mission to bring people together
These days I write and I make art and I create spaces for people to come together. In those spaces, we share our stories and we create and we write and we move our bodies and together, we come back into aliveness, one story at a time.
