Words of Power: The Importance of Sharing Stories, Listening, and Healing
Session Description:
This session highlights how storytelling, lullabies, empathic listening, and the Wise Woman narrative inform us about cycles of victimization, aggression, and eventual healing. By sharing stories, we create common ground between different traditions, which in turn leads us to convert trauma into healing and empowerment. Stories and lullabies are universal amongst different traditions and when we share these with each other, we can learn empathy and respect toward “the other.”
