Q: Where Do We Go From Here?

A: Story Medicine for Racial Healing –

Teacher and healer Meta Commerse will lead a seven-week Story Medicine class on a weekly basis from August through October. An introductory workshop will be offered on August 4, 2018 from 4-6 p.m. and the classes take place from 6-8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, Aug. 22 through October 3, 2018.

Commerse is a seasoned teacher and healer committed to personal and community transformation. Story medicine is an ancient indigenous modality; this iteration blends the power of story with the generative written word, in a form Commerse describes as magnetic. Past students have found themselves compelled to tell their untold stories, leaving the experience with fresh, liberating perspectives.

According to Commerse, “racial healing” is a term introduced to the world by veteran healers whose community activism far surpassed an exposé of the effects of systemic white supremacy on all who live under its influence. “We use a time-tested teaching method engaging the whole person. Our wide variety of materials is selected to make for an unforgettable class.”

The class is conducted in West African ritual space, where students will have tough conversations in heart language … and emerge changed.

Class registration opens at the workshop, on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited to 20 for both events. To reserve a workshop spot, or for more information, visit www.storymedicineworldwide.com.
