Stories That Heal

What is Stories That Heal?

Stories that Heal is a music, storytelling and community wellbeing project  focused on mental health and healing through lifting local stories and musical expressions in Benzie County. The 2024 iteration of Stories That Heal builds upon a very successful pilot festival in 2021. The project includes community dialogues, story sharing circles and community creative workshops. Many are struggling through hard times right now and Stories That Heal strives to be a project that can help those in need find healing. A free community concert and community dialogue will be presented at The Garden Theater on May 19th. A podcast series about the project will be produced by Interlochen Public Radio. Those who are interested in participating are encouraged to attend one or many of the songwriting circles or storytelling workshops. During these workshops, participants will channel their stories/experiences into an original song/story/poem with the help of a trained artistic facilitator. Learn more about workshop dates, times, and locations below.
