The Journey Starts with a Tale
Judith Malika Liberman

Talk and Book Signing

October 24, 2017 / 18:30

How do the tales open our path? Is it possible that texts which date back to such old times can create motion in a modern person’s life? Can tricks of our minds, in other words dreaming, show us the way out of the problems that we are not able to solve by analytical thinking? After her new book Start the Journey with Tales, published by hep kitap, Judith Lieberman is meeting with art-lovers in Pera Museum. During the talk, presented by hep kitap and Pera Museum, the Author explains how we can bring the curative effect of tales into our lives with examples from her book, which leads us on of a 40-day long adventure.

Judith Liberman is a storyteller, art therapist, speaker and trainer based in Istanbul.  She hosts a weekly storytelling show on national radio channel NTV, and weekly storytelling concerts in Istanbul and all over Turkey.  She is considered to have triggered the storytelling revival in Turkey where she trained hundreds of storytellers over the last ten years.  Her first book "Tale Therapy" was an overnight bestseller.  Her new book came out in october this year.  Judith believes storytelling is the magic that weaves community, and uses every opportunity to invite people to dream together.
