That's the world we're working to create.
Stories are medicine and our Indigenous stories hold essential wisdom and relevance for our lives today. Our ancestors recognized that stories are not just entertainment, historical artifacts, or distraction, but powerful tools for healing, growth, insight, and connection to the land, manitous, and our ancestors.
When we come into deep relationship with Indigenous stories we enter another portal, we step out of time, we discover resources.
By recognizing the power of stories and engaging with them in traditional ways, we can tap into a vast resource. If we can remember how to approach them in a respectful and sacred manner, we can access their power and wisdom, and use them to activate our personal growth and healing, and the well-being of our communities and the planet.
The Story Medicine process is an 8-session, monthly program that is aimed at helping people discover the wisdom and relevance of stories in their lives today in order to activate growth and healing. The program utilizes a range of experiential processes, including embodied mindfulness, expressive arts, writing, and active imagination journeys. Participants are encouraged to engage with the stories in a personal and reflective manner, to gain insights and understanding that can be applied to their current life situations and the world.
