Interstitium: A Space for Stories of Health, Illness, Wellness and Beyond

The Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative will run our last Interstitium at the wonderful Shafer Baillie Mansion in Seattle. This will be a goodbye celebration and fundraiser while we look for a new home.

We invite you to listen to/tell a story/share some artistic expression about your own experience in health and wellness

around the theme: “Letting Go”

Doors open at 5:30.

We are seeking story-tellers and story-appreciators as we gather together to enjoy a narrative medicine community.
