In one hour, discover why your brain calms down when an experience becomes "a story with a shape," and practise four simple techniques you can use whenever you feel overwhelmed. Come ready to try something new — that's all you need.
Join us in person for an eye-opening event where we dive into the power of storytelling and how it affects our brain. Discover the science behind how stories help manage stress and balance emotions. It’s a unique chance to explore the magic of stories through a neuroscience lens. Come curious, leave inspired!
Testimonial:
The workshop was such a great learning experience of how storytelling can play a vital role in helping us to de-stress and regulate our mental wellbeing. The interactive exercises were the perfect tools to enhance the participants' understanding of how stress affects us, and how through simple, readily accessible means, such as storytelling, we can find inner calm and resolution at any given moment. Dr Barbara Wong is an insightful, motivating author and speaker who demonstrates a profound understanding of and passion for helping others learn how to declutter and refocus their thought processes. This is an essential workshop for the present time in which we live.
