Reclaim Your Story. Reclaim Yourself.
In a world that often asks us to perform instead of reflect, The Endarkened Narrative Lab offers a sacred pause — a place to remember who you are, reclaim your voice, and reimagine your story on your own terms.
Here, your story is sacred, alive, and embodied.
What is the Endarkened Narrative Lab?
The lab is grounded in Endarkened Narrative Inquiry (ENI). ENI is a research framework and creative methodology that centers the stories, knowledge systems, and lived experiences of those traditionally pushed to the margins. Rooted in decolonial traditions and embodied ways of knowing, ENI challenges dominant paradigms by embracing reflexivity, spirituality, and cultural nuance as essential to meaning-making. Rather than extracting data, ENI invites researchers, storytellers, and truth-seekers to engage in a relational, justice-oriented process of storytelling that honors complexity, interconnection, and transformation. It is an inquiry into what has been hidden, silenced, or shadowed—and a reclamation of voice, agency, and ancestral wisdom.
