A Return to Wholeness: Storytelling as a Healing Art

Comments (0)

Bioneers has a radio series in which one 30-minute, well-produced, free episode features Rachel Remen, teacher and master storyteller, who packs several stories into her discussion about how the power of story can deepen lives and enrich work.

From Remen's Web site:

Most health professionals do not take the time to remember and tell their own stories or have the opportunity to listen to the stories of colleagues. Yet our stories can heal us. Taking time to discover our own stories and explore them in the context of our calling and commitment can ease our loneliness and restore our sense of energy, meaning, purpose and direction in our work life.

Remen conducts workshops featuring a series of experiential exercises and discussions, using imagery, symbolism, poetry and journal writing to enable participants to find their own stories and discover what sustains them. Participants have the opportunity to remember times of loss, healing, mystery, love and grace; to share these stories with other professionals and to listen to the stories they tell in return.
