Historically, storytelling has been used as a strategy used by healers to engage the listener in the possibility of change. Stories are used in a variety of disciplines as a means of sharing practical knowledge and exploring values. The use of stories creates powerful connections. Stories educate as tools of transformation engaging all involved with new ideas, broader perspectives and the possibility of change. Sitting around the table telling stories has been a form of teaching, healing and learning as far back as our collective memories serve us in virtually every culture around the world.
