Storytelling as Civic Repair
2026-06-10 09:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
What if the stories we tell could heal the places we live?
Cities are living narratives. Yet, in our fast-paced world, many of these stories have become fragmented or lost. Join us for a transformative webinar exploring Storytelling as Civic Repair: Narrative, Healing, and Reconnection. 🌿
We will dive into “Story as Method,” moving beyond simple communication to view storytelling as a civic ritual, a planning tool, and a vital infrastructure of meaning. Together, we will ask the key question: Who gets to tell the story of the city, and how can storytelling reweave our civic life? 🌀🤝
From memory mapping to speculative design, let’s rediscover how reclaiming our collective memory can serve as a pathway to social cohesion and city healing.
🗓️10 June 2026 🕒15:00 – 17:00 CEST / 9:00 – 11:00 EDT📍Online
The session brings together three distinctive voices working across storytelling, public leadership, systems change, civic imagination, and place-based healing: Jim Brulé, Dr. h.c. Violeta Bulc, and Dave “Tex” Smith.

The Tower and the Thorn
2026-07-01 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Zoom
The Tower and the Thorn:
Weaving Transformation through Lanjeh and Lunja
In the shadows of our greatest fears lie the seeds of our most profound growth.
Join professional storyteller Jim Brulé for a four-session deep dive into two mesmerizing Moroccan variants of the “Maiden in the Tower” myth: Lanjeh and Lunja. While the world knows Rapunzel, these versions offer something deeper: a story where the monster is a mother, the escape is a transformation, and the “hero” often fails because he cannot see the value in the struggle.
This is more than a folklore study; it is a journey through the Healing Monsters model. Together, we will step into the role of the Weaver, learning to take the fragmented threads of past trauma and spiritual wounds and spin them into a narrative of agency and anti-fragility.
This is a Diving Deeply Seminar. We meet every other week for 90 minutes to allow ample time for discussion and self-exploration between sessions. The cost for the general public is $100 for all four sessions; paid subscribers to the Healing Monsters substack are admitted for free.
We will meet on these four Wednesdays at noon Eastern:
1 July
15 July
29 July
12 August
You will receive a single Zoom link that will be valid for all four sessions.
