ABOUT THE CLASS
Daniel Boscaljon focuses on how traumatic and difficult events can also be interpreted as ruptures that open (rather than close) future possibilities. Looking at the power of wonder, the class will explore the work of the imagination to describe how such ruptures can make us more capable of being aware of the surrounding world and thus more able to pursue the lives we wish to lead.
Dan Boscaljon, Phd.
Author and Philosopher in existential and narrative theory

ABOUT THE POWER OF STORY SERIES
This series will be held on Wednesdays from 6pm-8pm for 5 weeks from Oct 18th to Nov 15th at the Iowa Writers' House. Working in partnership with Energeia, this interconnected series of classes explores the power of writing as a tool for self-exploration, personal healing and transformative growth.
The series will cover topics ranging from the science and energy of story to the power of story as a tool in processing grief, and will examine how reframing the understanding of one's life can lead to self-healing and personal transformation. Finally, the series will explore how to unlock wonder in the stories of our lives that contribute to the betterment of the world. Each class offers participants the means to identify, interpret, and incorporate all of these concepts in a way that opens new avenues of personal transcendence and emotional empowerment.
