In this final iteration of the 2024 Afternoon of Wellness series, participants will explore the therapeutic benefits of storytelling. Using the exhibition “Joel Sternfeld: American Prospects,” October 3, 2024 – January 5, 2025, for inspiration, Creative Arts Therapist Maria Scaros will guide participants to explore the aspects of their personal story, as found within Sternfeld’s narrative photos. Through this process participants will discover commonalities and share the story telling experience.
Through research, we know that engaging in the storytelling process – both as teller and listener - increases oxytocin and decreases cortisol; storytelling increases positive feelings and connections. Participants will experience these positive effects, and more in this engaging workshop. The session will be facilitated by Creative Arts Therapist Maria Scaros and Museum Educator Corinne Flax.
