The Power of Story in Healing (Free, Online)
With Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD and Robert Vetter
March 25, 2021
Join Lewis Mehl-Madrona, author of Coyote Wisdom: The Power of Story in Healing and Cultural Anthropologist Bob Vetter, as they share the therapeutic power of storytelling.
Counsellors, psychotherapists, physicians, and traditional healers have all used stories and storytelling in the course of their work since forever. Stories have been used for millennia to entertain, educate, and inform our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. Some stories are better than others and some storytellers do it better than others.
Through personal and traditional storytelling, discussion and Q&A, participants will leave with an understanding of how to connect their client’s personal narratives with traditional stories in a therapeutic setting.
Looking to go deeper? Lewis and Bob will also be offering a hands-on and practical narrative therapy workshop, scheduled May 22 – 23, 2021 (Online). More information coming soon!
