What have we learned as we journeyed from there to here and how can we tell that as a healing story of growth? This six-session storytelling course is designed to explore our life stories with curiosity—like an archeological dig—and recast what happened to discover meaning and purpose in our lives. This will be an entertaining interactive workshop that includes storytelling basics, structural frameworks, partnered exercises, homePlay writing, and the opportunity to hone the art of oral storytelling as we practice developing our stories together.
