Storytelling as Self-Care

Anyone can be a storyteller, and storytelling is one of the most rigorous tools we have to fight social injustices, build community, and facilitate personal healing. Storyteller Sara Porkalob and director Andrew Russell will teach Participants how to mine their unique lived experience for content via interactive storytelling exercises and engage their imagination via accessible improv.

In addition to being interactive and fun, this session will provide participants with a toolkit of exercises for future use in facilitation, community-building, and other creative and collaborative endeavors. No prior storytelling experience is required and participants should be prepared to take notes.
