Marlene Winberg holds a PhD in Philosophy with a specialisation in the Narrative Arts, a Master of Arts in Fine Art, and a BA in Drama and Literature from the University of Cape Town.
She has published several works on the oral traditions and therapeutic arts of southern Africa, including The Gathering Bag - Remembering the Heroines of Traditional San Stories (2024).
As South African co-ordinator for the international human rights organisation, The World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child, she has listened to hundreds of stories told by adults and children in the face of profound hardship, providing counseling and psycho-education. These experiences, together with her lifelong work with the therapeutic arts and Indigenous storytellers, form the foundation of her current research on the synergy between art, healing and contemporary science.
Art Heals
A Journey with Narrative Arts Therapy
At the heart of healing through the narrative arts lies a powerful truth:
We hold the agency to transform the stories that have shaped us.
The course introduces you to the practice and principles of Narrative Arts Therapy, while encouraging you to become your own best healing companion. Accompanied by the course book, The Story of You and Us - A Journey with the Narrative Arts Therapy, the process offers you a variety of creative techniques to achieve this.
One On One Sessions
A 90-minute in-person session provides an in-depth experience with narrative arts therapy. It is based on the course book for healing with the narrative arts.
Online Sessions
Online therapy is increasingly popular due to its privacy, autonomy, and the ability to choose a preferred environment. Teenagers find it effective and less stigmatising, as they can do therapy in their own home.
