Stories As Medicine (CANCELLED)
About
Who directs the narrative of our story? Who writes the ending? Who decides what is meaningful to take away from it? Colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy are just a few systems that direct the cultural narrative. We are exploring ways our own actions, choices and voice can inform and determine for ourselves how our next chapter unfolds. How may we understand stories as medicine – others’ and our own?
This practical session invites you to explore the use of silence, creativity, storytelling and curiosity to develop tools for creative resiliency that can support healing and recovery for ourselves and others in responding to personal and collective trauma experiences. These skills can be used for self-directed contemplative practices, and facilitating intergenerational community worship gatherings.
We invite folks to bring a plate of food to share that represents something special/unique to your family or culture (this doesn't have to be fancy or complicated!)
Kids are welcome, reach out to us at talitha@therecollective.com.au if you want to bring any along so we can factor this into our headcount and workshop delivery approach.
