Make Art of Your Life
Healing Theatre affirms life as it is,
the potential of the human spirit,
and the mythic dimension of life.
A Creative Method that Weaves
Lived Experience with
World Story and Theater
The language of the soul is quickened and a personal mythology emerges as you re-enact and embody experiences from your life that surface in response to hearing a world story.
Participation fosters increased self-awareness, compassion and renewed vitality. Fresh perspective and new connections are forged in an immersive experience that draws upon the body's wisdom and strengthens your creative potential.
​
No acting experience needed. Theater and performing artists welcome. Benefits people of all ages.

“Healing Theatre has been
a profound and transformational
experience for me...way beyond
what I could have possibly concocted
in the very wildest places of my imagination:
healing, revealing, theatrical, emotional,
and oh, so helpful to me.”
​
— Laurey Masterton
“Healing Theatre affirms life as it is,
the potential of the human spirit,
and the voice of the individual.”
“Telling our story is a creative act of community formation…Telling one’s story and being heard and recognized...
is integral to health
and wellness.”
Lewis Mehl-Medrona,
What is the myth
you are living”…
I took it upon myself to get to know ‘my’ myth, and I regarded this as the task of tasks…”
C.G. Jung
The shortest distance
between two people
is a story.

“Two or three things I know
for sure, and one of them is that to go on living I have to tell stories, that stories are
the one sure way I know to touch the heart and change the world.”
