Stories as Catalysts: Community Healing through Oral Storytelling

Jim Brulé and Laura Simms explore the profound connections between storytelling, healing, and human resilience. Through rich dialogue and experiential examples, we will share insights from our unique cultural and personal perspectives, followed by an interactive Q&A where the audience can deepen their understanding of storytelling as a healing practice. The discussion will probe the central question: What truly makes a story healing?

This workshop is part of the Georgia 2025 National Storytelling Conference, sponsored by the National Storytelling Network. It is being delivered in person only.
