Join H. Fay Wilkinson on this two-hour adventure as you explore storytelling devices that invite the telling of real-life stories

We will work metaphorically with all aspects of a tree to help you focus on particular stories of for example your ancestors, mentors and accomplishments. A switch in modality will give you an opportunity to represent a part of one of your stories in another way. This is particularly useful for telling stories that are difficult to share. It provides a level of safety and can re-power the teller. Ideas of other ways to work with stories intermodally will be shared that you can take forward both for yourself and those you work with.

"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 well being."
