About this listen
Welcome to Story Medicine
In this introduction, Joe Summerfield shares what Story Medicine is all about: why stories have been such a constant companion throughout human history - and why we're instinctively drawn to them across all cultures and times.
Stories are more than entertainment. They're encoded with the cumulative wisdom of all who have come before us, containing universal truths about life and the self, hidden like treasure waiting to be decoded.
Each episode of Story Medicine offers a complete story told in full, reflections on the medicine it carries, and practical integration exercises to help you receive that wisdom.
Whether you're here for a good story time or ready to explore the deeper patterns these ancient tales reveal, you're welcome.
Many of these stories Joe will be encountering fresh, discovering them alongside you. In Episode 2, we'll begin with "The Handless Maiden" from the Grimm Brothers' collection - a tale about loss, agency, and what can grow back through grief.
