About this Event
Sharing our stories can create profound changes within us mentally and emotionally, but storytelling also has a biological impact when sharing lived experiences. This workshop by Sara Cook, explores the biological, or body-based, impact of both telling and hearing personal stories. Workshop participants will learn about the biology behind the positive impact we experience when engaging with the stories of others, both individually and collectively. It will also explore some of the potentially difficult impacts from hearing stories of adversity and how those impacts can be reduced or prevented by utilising resiliency tools within storytelling environments.
This workshop will be relevant to facilitators and participants in storytelling spaces and similar transformational processes.
