Writing, Living and Dying with Your Whole Heart
Live Webinar with Story Nurse Sabrina Görlitz and Story Coach April Bosshard
I think in stories. It’s my way of looking at the world, at life and death and trying to make sense of it. Knowing the patterns of traditional storytelling is also helping me and my clients to capture the true essence of their lives in the face of death.
To me, we are all little stories belonging to one “big story”. It can be both a very meaningful and peaceful experience at the end of life to see that connection so clearly, and to be assured that your story has made a difference in the world. And that it will continue in doing so, because it is preserved and passed on.
April Bosshard, a story coach from Vancouver, Canada, and I met in 2019. That encounter, in hindsight, proved to be not only a wonderful story in itself, but it also kick-started my own book writing process. Moreover, talking and learning from April has continuously inspired and influenced my work with the dying over the past five years. She is such a faithful advocate for story, she knows so much about storytelling and has helped aspiring writers from all over the world to get their story down on the page. I call her a story midwife, and if you’ve ever thought of writing a book, whether it be fiction or memoir, I’d highly recommend talking to April before you get started!
I am travelling in September to attend April’s Deep Writing Retreat https://www.deepstorydesign.com/retreat-sept-2024/ on Salt Spring Island, and I will stay a little longer to record a free life webinar on September 26th at 11 am Pacific with April. During that session, we are going to talk about how the awareness and the integration of good storytelling principles can make a significant difference to your writing, on the one hand, and how that awareness can also inspire you to live a deeper and more meaningful life, one that embraces your whole being and captures who you really are. I’ve witnessed many times how having lived a life that resembles a good story (and that doesn’t mean that only „good“ things have happened in it) can also make letting go of that very life easier when it’s time to die.
