Mindful Storytelling Online Writing Course

When applying mindful awareness, the mastery of storytelling becomes a way to understand, to empathize, to listen and to use voice with passion and presence.  Using mindfulness as an entry-point and a “storytelling hack”, we’re able to see the scope of connection, using insights to connect with true voice. It’s liberating, fun and empowering– useful in all aspects of life to get our messages across.

Everyone has a story to tell; we use stories to connect; to express creativity; to understand each other, and to design creative ideas with others’ perspectives in mind. We use stories to hear and be heard, online and offline, in all sorts of situations.  Sometimes we may feel stifled or blocked– when it’s hard to focus, to engage, and to connect with our own voice and with each other. This disconnect can keep us from realizing our most capable, authentic and expressive selves.

The Mindful Storytelling Online Writing Course Includes:

• Understanding of mindfulness and ways to apply it
• Writing exercises that boost connection with authentic voice
• Detailed explanations and examples of creative storytelling processes
• Practice using storytelling techniques
