JOSE MARTINEZ-This wild dream of a mobile resource and listening center focused on spiritual health was started by Chaplain Jose Martinez. He saw through his chaplain work, at the hospital and in the military, that there were many people that had spiritual health issues and didn’t even know it. It is our goal to provide free resources about these issues such as grief, moral injury, shame, guilt, and other spiritual health issues that affect mental health to individuals, community groups, and faith communities. Additionally, for those that need to tell their story, we will be that safe space, meeting people where they are and giving them a platform to be heard.
Some of you might be thinking, “How did you come up with your name? Isn’t Wagen spelled wrong?” Well yes and no. The name StoryWagen represents our mobile studio which is in a 1979 Volkswagen bus.
The StoryWagen bus is a mobile resource and listening center to record people’s stories of experiences with spiritual health issues such as moral injury, grief, and loss. We want to take what we learn from these gathered stories, combined with our knowledge from our own clinical and pastoral experience, and provide resources and education for local groups, faith communities, and any other entities that want to help their neighbors with their spiritual health struggles.
Something powerful happens when a person is listening to another person’s story. We believe this practive to be a sacred and divine act.
