As a path of self-development, storytelling awakes inner archetypal experiences, symbols, and forces for healing others and oneself.Nancy Mellon shows how to create a magical atmosphere for storytelling, how to use movement and direction within a story, how to set a storyscape, beginnings and endings, and the best way to use the rhythms of voice and language.
