“This is an experiential journey in personal and professional growth. You will examine your life and challenges and shape your experience from, literally and metaphorically, multiple angles. You will practice designing a life story as a film, using film making principles such as: brainstorming, writing, shooting, and editing a film. The journey will also include healing, therapeutic, and counseling principles that guide participants to help themselves or their clients with: shaping their identity, viewing their personal narrative from multiple angles, resolving conflict, and self-expression.

Participants will learn how to integrate film methods into their work as individual or group therapists; or, integrate these transformative principles into their film, screen, and media work.

Who should attend:

All storytellers, healing arts professionals, Therapists, Counselors, Psychologists, creative artists, documentary filmmakers, videographers, photographers, theater and performance directors, advertising and marketing professionals, YouTube artists, visionary media producers.
