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.”
