The Healing Power of Story

An article by Susan Perrow, 2014

The universe began as a story ... we are part human, part stories...

The importance of stories and storytelling has been understood and worked with since the beginning of recorded history. Anthropologists have long observed the importance and popularity of stories in every culture. Joseph Campbell, through his extensive study of world mythology, states that our cultural mythswork upon us, whether consciously or unconsciously, as energy-releasing, life-motivating anddirecting agents ...

"Whenever men have looked for something solid on which to found their lives, they have chosen not the facts in which the world abounds, but the myths of an immemorial imagination".
