What is the intersection of cultural storytelling and person/contemporary stories that relate to our health and well being? How can we tell our stories better both in a small group or “on stage?” In this three-hour workshop we will explore the art and craft of oral storytelling, and the differences between cultural storytelling and telling our personal stories. While some elements are the same, they are different. Learn how to uncover and tell your story.
