Far from new but now supported with medical evidence, narrative medicine storytelling practice quiets anxiety, resolves trauma, reduces inflammation, builds self-acceptance, and supports and psycho-social health. The best part is that it happens naturally when we tell our stories because we literally flood ourselves with love in the process. Storyteller, poet, healer, mystic, and narrative medicine practitioner, Dr. Laura Hope-Gill MFA, director of Narrative Medicine at Lenoir-Rhyne University, has followed the emergence of this new field for the past fifteen years while continuing her research and practice of Creativity. Join her on Sunday afternoons at 4 pm for a story and an opportunity to experience the array of approaches with health and wellness benefits, as well as creative inspiration and friendship that come with telling and writing your stories in a criticism-free space.
