Healing Story Sessions

Celebrating the relationship between vulnerability and strength


Healing Story Sessions are live storytelling events founded on the belief that story sharing is healing.

In preparation for these sessions, we work closely with participants to construct their stories of illness and healing, and to become comfortable sharing their stories in spoken word. Participants then invite a group of supportive community members to attend their session and to witness their stories.

The act of sharing in this way simultaneously empowers story sharers and strengthens community.

All of our Healing Story Sessions are videotaped, and some of our participants have courageously agreed to have their videos shared on our website.
