Who

What

Taking cues from The Moth and Johns Hopkins University Storytelling professor Dr. Shari Ross Altarac, among other storytelling experts, this workshop provides a platform for understanding the process of storytelling and getting hands-on experience expressing through the craft. Connecting with fellow attendees isn't just the cherry on top but a way to build supportive community through the process of sharing and listening. We'll address and answer the following questions:


1. Introduction: What is storytelling? How and why is it helpful for grieving and healing?

2. Story Elements: What does a relatable and compelling story include?

3. Story Structure: How does one craft an engaging story?

4. Telling the Story: From page to embodiment, how does one effectively share a personal story?

5. Feedback: With what did we most connect from your story? What drew us in and could be further explored? How did you feel while telling your story?
