Jim Brule: When Storytellers Write about Healing

When Storytellers Write about Healing
An Interview with Jim Brulé hosted by Laura Simms

Join us for the second event in a new Healing Story Alliance series where authors are interviewed about their writing processes and the healing power of storytelling. Storytelling, unique among all narrative arts, engages listeners in a profound way, deepening our understanding of what healing means and how it functions.

In this session, noted storyteller/author Laura Simms will interview Jim Brulé about his new book with Rebecca Lemaire, “Stories of the Heart: Journey into Dying and Living.” She will inquire into his writing processes and the healing power of storytelling.

Jim will share the journey of encouraging his book to blossom, enriched by the challenges of telling stories about death from oral traditions worldwide in a way that weaves oral and literary styles – all with a co-author in a foreign country. Our discussion will encompass how we bring the healing power of stories into the reader’s experience through creative exercises and prompts.

Audience participation is encouraged, with opportunities to ask questions and share observations inspired by Jim’s work and the interview. This event benefits The Healing Storytelling Alliance, dedicated to promoting healing through the art of storytelling.

While it will not be necessary to read Jim’s book in advance, copies may be obtained at StoriesOfTheHeartBook.com.
