FRIENDLY CIRCLE BERLIN WORKSHOP
“DISCOVER NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR RECOVERY”MYTH-MAKING AND MEANING
The Transformative Power of Storytelling in Recovery
With
William (Bill) Schaberg
In conversation with
Cody Peterson
In his book Schaberg describes Bill Wilson as a "conscious and deliberate myth maker" who used storytelling to serve a "higher purpose" while also acknowledging the complexity and potential inaccuracies in his narratives.
This talk will examine how compelling personal stories can be transformative in the recovery process, while also critically examining the line between inspirational storytelling and historical accuracy.
We will explore the paradox of a recovery founder who sometimes struggled with complete honesty, yet created a movement fundamentally based on personal truth-telling.
Through a provocative exploration of storytelling, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation, Bill reveals the complex human narrative behind the world's most influential recovery program.
