Think of the place you
call home.

To Begin Returning Home

Follow the three steps below. Move at your own pace.

Chapter 1

Complete the Chapter 1 reflection form below.

After submitting, a download button will appear for the Chapter 1 guide (PDF).

The Chapter 1 activity is designed to be done with a partner (interviewer and interviewee), but can also be done as a solo reflection.

When finished, return to this page. Bring one key reflection with you.

Then continue to Chapter 2.

Chapter 2

Complete the Chapter 2 reflection form below. Doing so indicates you've completed Chapter 1 and are ready to continue.

After submitting, a download button will appear for the Chapter 2 game instructions (PDF).

The Chapter 2 walking game can be done alone or with a small group (1 to 12 people).

The Chapter 2 form requires your email. This is so we can reach out to ask about your interest in joining a discussion group to continue your Returning Home practice.

Ongoing Participation and Practice

After completing Chapter 2:

  • Join a virtual discussion group for Chapter 3 and beyond
  • Participate in a local story circle (where available)
  • Help convene or facilitate future gatherings

Participation deepens if you choose.

Where This Is Happening

We are currently piloting in:

  • Erie-Niagara
  • Ann Arbor
  • Bangladesh

If you're elsewhere, you can still complete Chapters 1 and 2. Discussion groups and story circles will expand over time.
