Humans are storytellers. Each culture has its treasure trove of stories that teach or heal or transmit generational wisdom; that make us laugh or weep or be inspired as they speak of human joy and misery, of dilemma and conflict, of gifts and poisons, of everything that is typically human.
In the Friday night presentation, we will explore The Thousand and One Nights, a collection of stories from Persia dating to the years before 1000 CE. The storyteller is Shahrazad, who finds a way–one night at a time–to heal the king’s heart, which was profoundly hurt by betrayal. Shahrazad’s wisdom shows us how to be with a person in pain with relatedness, sensitivity, clarity, and steadfastness. Healing occurs incrementally, one day at a time, and mind, heart, and soul can live, grow, and bloom again.

In the Saturday workshop, we will explore more deeply the process of development and healing in educational endeavors, in conflict resolution, in therapeutic engagements: the preparation of the would-be teacher-mediator-healer, the necessary attitudes and qualities, and especially the importance of patient step-by-step steadfastness. Discussion will alternate with reflection and short writing periods.
