Storytelling as a Healing Art - Programs and Workshops Storytelling as a Healing Art Programs and Workshops Storytelling as a Healing Art offers experiential training in storymaking and storytelling as a creative and transformative process. It is designed for caring professionals, as well as parents, teachers, professional storytellers and others who wish to develop new understanding, skill, confidence and refinement in storytelling as a healing art. The training provides an integrated journey through individual projects and group participation.
Participants study the influence of story on the health and development of individuals and groups.
Types and qualities of imagination and narrative are explored, in relationship with a broad variety of challenges to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health across the life span. The participants are given the opportunity to learn many ways to integrate speech, movement, music, color, writing and dramatic arts with storytelling and storymaking in their personal and professional lives. We also offer workshops and consultations in therapeutic storytelling and the art of storytelling. October 19-21, 2001. Contact Suzanne Down.
