Interstitium: A Space for Stories of Health, Illness, Wellness and Beyond

The Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative will run our last Interstitum at the wonderful Shafer Baillie Mansion. This will be a goodbye celebration and fundrasier while we look for a new home.

We invite you to listen to/tell a story/share some artistic expression about your own experience in health and wellness

around the theme: "Letting Go"

We are seeking story-tellers and story-appreciators as we gather together to enjoy a narrative medicine community.

Story guidelines:

• may be read or told extemporaneously
• can be funny, serious, heartfelt, absurd, lyrical, etc.
• can be expressed as a narrative, poem, song, movement, or any genre of your liking.
• please maintain patient/people privacy and don't use actual names unless you have permission
• the event will not be recorded
• the event will not be judged

We reserve the right to curate the event. We strive to maintain an emotionally safe environment for all, and will not tolerate discrespectful behavior.
