CBD 2015: Storytelling Workshop: Authentic Expression & Deep Listening

Stories and storytelling have long been a vehicle for creating greater presence to ourselves, others, and our world. In this workshop you’ll explore how to turn your encounters with stories into contemplative practices, with many of the same benefits of mindfulness and compassion meditation practices.  Join us to discover how to use stories and storytelling to reflect deeply and create more intimacy in all of your relationships.  

Instructor: Jonah Willihnganz is the Bruce Braden Lecturer of Narrative Studies at Stanford and Director of the Stanford Storytelling Project, an arts program that sponsors courses, grants, an acclaimed event series, and the award-winning radio program State of the Human.  He is also co-founder of Stanford LifeWorks, an initiative that supports students' natural capacities for courage, resilience, compassion, and deep attention.
