SUMMARY:Discovering Transformational Stories
DESCRIPTION:Some stories are well-suited to being told as “transformational stories” – stories that invite the audience to meaningfully change. Transformational stories can be the basis for healing rifts – whether within us or between us. However\, to be “transformational\,” it must be the right story\, at the right time\, for the right people\, and told with an open heart. \nIn this 90-minute class\, we will examine stories to discern what about them may allow them to become transformational. Stories will be provided for review\, but students will be expected to provide the “bones” of 1-2 stories they would like to submit to this examination. \nThis class is co-taught by Jim Brulé and Maja Bumberák. Jim is the founder of Transformational Storytelling\, and Maja is a renowned storyteller\, singer\, and educator based in Budapest\, Hungary. \nTheir biographies can be found here. \nA tool for analyzing stories in this manner will be taught and used in the course. \nThe standard course is $50; participants who register for the complete course ($75) will receive a recording of the class for one month of personal use\, as well as the handouts used in the class.

SUMMARY:Dancing with Death
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is led by Rebecca Lemaire and Maggid Jim Brulé and is representative of the ongoing workshops and series they provide online\, in which they take the participants on an exploration of death and life through stories and creativity. The objective is to investigate one’s current feelings and inner state\, open difficult conversations\, and hopefully uncover a space of stillness and peace to hold whatever storms may come. In this workshop\, a traditional story will be the seed to spark conversations and personal reflections around facing our own death\, the fear of dissolution\, and how to leave loved ones behind.  Rebecca and Jim are professional storytellers and also draw on their experience as Reiki healers\, meditation teachers\, sound healers\, and death doula (Jim) to create a safe and intimate space to share. \n\nRebecca Lemaire is an international storyteller and teacher. Her passion is to look into people’s eyes\, and travel with them through stories\, whether in a prison\, a yoga school\, a Tibetan monastery in the Himalayas\, a theatre\, or a library. One aspect of her work is to lead and co-lead workshops in which stories are used as prompts to explore death and dying. She is a Reiki/sound healer and is an active participant in the group ‘Vivir y Morir’ in Spain\, in which the taboo about death is overcome through discussions\, practical and spiritual preparation\, movies\, poetry\, and stories. Rebecca says\, “Storytelling is a form of communication that goes way beyond words; it is a heart-to-heart interaction\, which can create spaciousness and healing”. https://www.rebeccalemaire.com/ \nMaggid Jim Brulé is a transformational storyteller\, death doula\, Reiki teacher\, and interfaith chaplain. He founded the Transformational Storytelling school\, in which students learn how to tell stories that spark healing and growth in their audiences\, and themselves. Brulé also works with organizations and communities to bring the power of storytelling to healing the fractures which so often divide us around race\, class\, faith tradition\, and culture. Jim says\, “The right story\, told in the right way at the right moment\, can be the vehicle through which healing enters our lives.” https://www.transformationalstorytelling.org/
