The Stories that Write Us

By Dré Pontbriand

Since the beginning of time, stories have connected us, imparted us with wisdom, and inspired us to live more beautifully. I share mine with you now with the intention to remind you that you are the writer, the narrator, and the main character of your story, if you choose to be…Also, to pass on some of the potent lessons I’ve learned along the way, and perhaps even share some hahas.

A labour of love, a lifetime in the making—the culmination of an adventure-filled 7 year (and counting) international spiritual scavenger hunt, lived by yours truly.

Fix

What if there’s nothing I have to fix?

A stream of consciousness about the power of allowing ourselves to be exactly where we’re at.

Shadows

I can only step into my light to the extent to which I am willing to step into my darkness. It can be no other way. This is the story of/stream of consciousness around the most essential and transformative personal development tool I have ever come across (and this bitch has toyed with heaps of 'em). I love you. All of you. Your light. Your shadows. It's all delicious.

Bioluminescence

This is the story of the natural phenomenon that catalysed one of the most powerful transformations of my life.

Likeable

Likeable—for most of my life, this was the most important thing for me to be. I give you the story of my journey back home to my truest expression, and the dismantling of the limiting belief that my worth is dependent upon external validation.I love you, and I like you just as you are...but even if I didn’t, you’d still be just as worthy.😉🤍

Manifestation

About that time at a festival when I met a prophet who made an interesting proposition and also a compelling speech that would alter my reality for the better.

Silence

I used to run from silence as I feared what it might reveal. Society has done a great job conditioning us to fixate on external stimuli to avoid being with our innermost thoughts and feelings. For me, like for many Westerners, this constant outside noise drove me toward escapism and addiction, ultimately resulting in an inability to hear my inner truth. Vipassana meditation and learning to cultivate a sacred practice of silence allowed me to quiet my overactive mind, and ultimately brought me back home to myself. This is my journey from chaos to stillness. What would it look like to live a life you don’t desire to escape?
