Questions

What does ‘Mindful’ mean?

The word ‘mindful’ is taken from Buddhism, but you don’t need to know anything about Buddhism to do Mindful Storytelling. It is enough to understand the word ‘mindfulness’ as ‘awareness’. There is more to it than that, but you will learn more about it as the course progresses.

Is Mindful Storytelling therapy?

No. It is however therapeutic. ‘Therapy’ implies there is something wrong  from which you can be ‘cured’. For example: a sauna is not therapy - it is however therapeutic.

Are there any taboo topics?

Generally speaking there are no taboo subjects. There are some subjects that are more difficult than others - 

Can I tell somebody else’s story?

Mindful Storytelling is based on your own personal narratives. Unless the exercise specifically calls for you to tell other people’s stories, you tell your own stories.

Will I be recorded?

As a rule, we don’t record anything.
