Advocacy Storytelling: Identifying, crafting, and using stories to create change

Link to Event: https://www.simpletix.com/e/advocacy-storytelling-identifying-crafting-tickets-273868 Stories have always driven change. The most effective advocates, whether they're leading nonprofits, driving corporate initiatives, or community champions, know that data and logic alone rarely move people to act. Stories do. It seems like it would be easy, but finding the right story, shaping it for impact, and knowing when and how to use it are skills that need to be learned. In this practical online workshop, Laura Packer from thinkstory will guide participants through the essentials of advocacy storytelling - How to identify the stories already living in your work - How to craft them so they resonate with the people you need to reach - How to deploy them strategically to create real change. You'll leave with concrete tools you can put to use immediately and a vision of what becomes possible when story is used with intention. Whether you're a seasoned communicator or new to thinking about storytelling as an advocacy skill, this workshop has something for you. Workshop includes handouts with optional additional coaching.

The Tower and the Thorn: Weaving Transformation through Lanjeh and Lunja

Link to Event: https://www.simpletix.com/e/the-tower-and-the-thorn-tickets-273313 Event Website: https://transformationalstorytelling.org/event/the-tower-and-the-thorn/ Event Phone: 3128841818 Event Contact Email: jimbrule@gmail.com In the shadows of our greatest fears lie the seeds of our most profound growth. Join professional storyteller Jim Brulé for a four-session deep dive into two mesmerizing Moroccan variants of the "Maiden in the Tower" myth: Lanjeh and Lunja. While the world knows Rapunzel, these versions offer something deeper: a story where the monster is a mother, the escape is a transformation, and the "hero" often fails because he cannot see the value in the struggle. This is more than a folklore study; it is a journey through the Healing Monsters model. Together, we will step into the role of the Weaver, learning to take the fragmented threads of past trauma and spiritual wounds and spin them into a narrative of agency and anti-fragility. This is a Diving Deeply Seminar. We meet every other week for 90 minutes to allow ample time for discussion and self-exploration between sessions. The cost for the general public is $100 for all four sessions; paid subscribers to the Healing Monsters substack are admitted for free. We will meet on these four Wednesdays at noon Eastern: 1 July 15 July 29 July 12 August
