A Workshop Exploring Love & Family
and the Paths Toward How We Heal

In this ritual storytelling workshop, viral storyteller David Alder shares his experience of training his 80-year-old father in graceful aging after his shattering divorce, and what they both learned about love along the way.

The workshop explores the universal theme of relationships between children and their parents. David leans on years of storytelling facilitation to create a safe, nourishing container to explore this tender topic, as participants think about their loved ones and how those relationships are sitting in their hearts.

Part story reading, part discussion, part writing, and part dance Dancing With Dad builds a shared field of resonance and depth with participants, creating connection, sparking joy, and inspiring hope; medicine for these times.

David Alder is an artist, storyteller, facilitator and creative coach working in movements of healing at the edge of culture change. David is the founder of HANA, a school for spiritual voices, helping rising cultural role models grow their power and hone the craft of storytelling as they share their message with the world.

David facilitates storytelling workshops and retreats, and supports world-class artists, authors, and musicians who want to bring a spiritual dimension to their work. A teacher and coach first, David also tells his own stories, often illustrating them by hand. Tim Ferriss described David's viral graphic novel We Will Call It Pala as "required reading for those interested in psychedelics." David lives two floors above his dad in their family home in Brooklyn.
