How can stories be beneficial to people navigating difficult times? This course explores our human disposition towards storytelling and how stories can engage psyche and soma and influence individual and collective wounds. Students will be introduced to the healing power of story in three ways: first, by engaging the imaginal realms of story through listening to, reading, and reflecting upon myth and wonder tales; secondly through discovering how writing can serve to bring healing; and thirdly through gaining an understanding of the humanizing impact of narrative in the medical field.
