Episode 14 - The Power of Stories to Heal: Why the Act of Storytelling Makes a Difference with Dale Grenfell
The Starfish Storytellers by Liana Henry
Episode notes
In this episode, we welcome Dale Grenfell, Storytelling instructor, presenter, and facilitator who has taken her storytelling skills to the classroom and the stage. She has used storytelling in peace circles and within restorative justice programs both in classrooms and prisons to demonstrate the power of storytelling to heal harm. Storytelling connects when there is discord by bringing vulnerability, forgiveness, and transparency to the table.
Through sharing her own memorable stories of the Red Shawl and the Listener on the Train, she takes us on a journey of understanding that drives home why opening space for people to tell their stories is so important to re-establishing balance and peace.
