Story Is Medicine

Think of it as yoga with pen and paper.

You don't need to be a writer. You need one story you're ready to look at differently. In Story Is Medicine, we write together and use the page to explore what actually happened to us — combining creative writing, guided visualization, and reflection drawn from neuroscience and spiritual exploration.

A five-week program

A guided space to write and reflect.

Story Is Medicine is a five-week program piloted at Pasadena City College, combining creative writing, guided visualization, and reflection drawn from neuroscience and spiritual exploration.

A few words from former students

“Healing was happening as I was writing the story.”
former Story Is Medicine student
“I'm realizing that this class may be inviting me into something much deeper than simply learning how to write.”
former Story Is Medicine student
“I've always thought of those early years as one of the most traumatic parts of my story. But this exercise flipped that script for me.”
former Story Is Medicine student

The story you've been afraid to tell is the one that can heal you.
