The Places That Shaped Us is a guided life reflection activity designed to spark meaningful memories, storytelling, and connection through the places that have been part of our lives. Open-ended prompts invite participants to reflect on childhood homes, neighborhoods, gathering places, work, travel, and what makes a place feel like home.
The packet includes reflection prompts, coordinating writing stationery with standard and wider-spaced lines, and a detailed facilitation guide with strategies for supporting different cognitive and communication abilities. Designed for small groups, one-to-one visits, or individual reflection, the focus is not on testing memory or getting the “right” answer—it’s on honoring life stories, identity, and connection.
