We make sense of life through story
Restorying is a storytelling studio. We love stories. All kinds of stories. We listen to stories. We tell stories. We help people tell their stories in a new way. We imagine stories that could have been real, or that we hope one day will be. We use stories to time travel, to hold difficult conversations, to resolve real conflicts, to find a common vision. We believe that everything in life is nothing else but a story we tell ourselves and each other. And through stories we will co-create a better future for all of us.

Workshop Details
Restorying my Future Self
I invite you to embark on a three-week transformative journey where we will walk through your Past, Present and Future in search of stories. Stories that ended up defining you in ways that are no longer useful. Stories that contain the precious wisdom of who you truly are. Stories yet to be written by your Future Self.
We will distil the elements of your stories, as if they were a fiction film or book, understanding the characters, their internal logics, relationships, conflicts and dynamics, the key actions in the plot, the relevant spaces and times, as well as the social and systemic forces interfering in the world where your stories take place.
Retell and restory
When we retell our stories, we have the opportunity to perceive new aspects, unpack hidden components, and rebalance the weight of events. Sometimes it is about letting a story go, but more often than not, this process is about owning our stories, the way they shaped us, and how we choose to make use of them now. By using screenwriting techniques, we will make your story into a beautiful piece of art.
Reclaim your agency and power
In life, not everything is fully under our control. Many internal and external factors play a big role in how our trajectory develops. By acknowledging these and their implications for our past, present, and future experiences, we gain clarity on how to build our lives more intentionally from now on.
Care and belong
This process happens in a safe and welcoming online space, with a maximum of ten people. Each participant works on their own story and is free to share as much as they want to. We cultivate deep listening and compassion, and learn from each other’s journeys and perspectives.
How it works
Three sessions of three hours each, happening over three weeks, on Zoom:
1st session (Past): 20 January 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm GMT
2nd session (Present): 27 January 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm GMT
3rd session (Future): 3 February 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm GMT
One-hour 1:1 session with the facilitator on the week of 9 February 2026.
Since this is a journey, where each session builds on the previous one, it is expected that participants join all the sessions for the entire time, as much as possible.
The sessions will not be recorded to protect people’s privacy.
We work with small groups of a maximum of 10 people.
This specific workshop is exclusive to women and non-binary people in all their diversity.
We will use the time of the workshops to write the stories. Some participants might want to spend some extra time between sessions refining their writing, but this is completely optional.

Meet the Facilitator
Thays Prado
Hi, there! My name is Thays Prado. I am so happy to have you here.
Stories have accompanied me throughout life. Daughter of two fantastic storytellers, I pursued a career in Journalism, Documentary Filmmaking, and Fiction Screenwriting. It has been 18 years since my first graduation.
In my storytelling journey, I have always centred the stories of women and girls and have had the pleasure to help hundreds of them, from dozens of countries and many walks of life, to tell their own stories, reframing their past, reclaiming hidden gems in their origin stories, and imagining inspiring futures for themselves, their communities and the world.
With my background in Gender Studies and Futures Thinking, I am committed to looking at every story from multiple perspectives, including the social and systemic dimensions that influence what happens to us and what we make out of it. And I firmly believe in our agency and capacity to transform our stories into the most beautiful expression of who we truly are.
I cannot wait to listen to your story and help you craft it most brilliantly for you to become the best version of your Future Self.
