About this Event
The Seattle Branch of the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative presents our 11th Seattle Interstitium: a storytelling evening that invites our community to share stories of how health and illness shape our lives.
You are invited to tell a health-related story on the theme "What Scared Me "- whatever that inspires in you.
Your story can be funny, serious, heartfelt, absurd, lyrical, etc. It can be expressed as a narrative, poem, song, movement, or any genre of your liking.
We are seeking story-tellers and story-appreciators, as we gather together to build a narrative medicine community.
