Therapeutically." 7:30pm - 9:00pm (India time, Sat 13th Feb). Workshop: "Create a Healing Fairy
Tale." Creating your own healing fairy tale is a magical experience.
It can put you in touch with your fairy godmother whose wise words can soothe old pain and turn them into insight, compassion, and empowering beliefs.
Creating a tale is easier than you might imagine. In this workshop, you'll receive a guide for writing a healing tale and you'll start writing your own. No experience
is needed. Examples of healing fairy tales are at Allison
Quaid (Germany). 9:00pm - 10:30pm (India time, Sat 13th Feb). Workshop: "Storytelling
for Connection, Insight, and Transformation." The stories we live
and hear influence the paths we choose to
walk and the meaning we make of the
road we are on. Some of our defining
stories become sustaining stories,
providing the perspective, clarity, and courage
to carry us where we want to go. Others become constraining stories, filled with
messages that keep us paralyzed, anxious,
and stuck. Through discussion and theory
integrated through experiential
activities, we will explore some of the healing story
ideas and tools to help us recognize,
understand, and shift constraining stories to become fuller sustaining stories
that empower us to create the story we
want to live. Lani
Peterson (Massachusetts, USA). 10:30pm - Midnight (India time, Sat 13th Feb). Workshop: "The Medicine
Inside the Spoken Image." In this workshop we would explore ways a story can prepare us for healing ourselves, for being in our being, and for restoring our connection to the earth, to nature, to each other, and to the spirit that
informs the heart. Laura
Simms (New York, USA) End of Saturday /
Beginning of Sunday (India time). Sun 14th Feb Midnight - 1:30am (India time, Sun 14th Feb). Workshop: "Organic
Storytelling: Movement and Storytelling for Self-awareness and Personal
Growth." This workshop includes
a type of enacting that Gail calls
"Organic Storytelling with Movement Energy
Efforts." Gail (a storyteller and
educator) will introduce a way
to look at human energy and will share her
experiences with students. Jean (a psychologist and
educator) will share some of her own findings about
the importance of enacting both with clients and
with herself. Their belief is that “trying on”
different voices, characters, postures, and movement
actions gives students and adults more
familiarity with options — more ways to communicate
and work with people in various
situations. Storytelling is healthy
and can lead to personal
growth as well as creative experiences. Gail

Cutanda (Spain). Jennifer

Smith (Scotland). Alette
Willis (Scotland). 3:00am - 4:30am (India time, Sun 14th Feb). Workshop: "Developing a 'Narrative
Mindset': When You
Think Story, Story Happens and Matters." Dr. Kevin Cordi shares how we may be "wired for stories" (Cron, 2012) but if we don’t know how to use the wiring, we can't be charged-up for stories.
Drawing on Carol Dweck's idea of growth and fixed mindset (2007), learn how to use story to make meaning, whether you are on the public stage or simply engaging in the day. Discover what
happens when we think and act "in story." This work builds an aware- ness of how adopting a "narrative mindset" (Cordi, 2018) can change the way you act, react, think, and move with story as your guide. Participants will be equipped with how to re-think using narrative-based reframing and other strategies. They
will walk away valuing not only how a story is told, but also how it can be used, and can be used to make
meaning. Kevin
