An Online Training with Fay Wilkinson

Published: Thu, 10/18/18

My relationship to story and its power goes way back to when I was a little girl. I created stories as a means of survival. Taking myself into imaginary worlds helped me navigate the realities of the real world. That passion for stories and creativity stood me in good stead in the corporate world I worked in for many years before finally finding my ‘home’ in expressive arts. Now I can move to and from story using different modes of expression (modalities), to shine a light on perhaps something I know, that I didn’t know I knew to support my mental health and wellbeing.

What does resilience mean to you?
Can stories contribute to building resilience – for you and the people you work with?
Are you ready to travel into an imaginary world that supports health and well-being?

Join H. Fay Wilkinson on this two-hour adventure that is both interactive and experiential as you explore storytelling devices that use both real life and existing stories like fairy tales and myths. After reviewing several examples of how stories can be incorporated into your personal and professional practices, you will continue on this exploratory journey to discover and experience intermodal ways that story can enhance characteristics (e.g. flexibility, problem-solving, and perception) that can help build a reservoir of strength we call resilience. You are encouraged to come with a short story to work with for example a zen story, or short fairy tale or myth that you love, even if you don’t know why!

Fay is an independent, Registered Expressive Arts Practitioner (IEATA), a therapeutic storyteller and an artist. For over 30 years she has designed and delivered Expressive Arts experiences for both individuals and groups of all ages with a focus on mental health. More
