Alisha Savatti has led several offerings for the NBM Lab and brings her experience as a narrative-based medicine practitioner, educator, and award-winning poet to the classroom. She spoke with us about why she’s looking forward to leading Nourishing Narratives once again in Fall 2026.

“Caring for the caregivers and creating opportunities for nourishment on multiple levels is the passionate mission of mine that has shaped Nourishing Narratives, Alisha tells us.

“In this year’s offering, I’m particularly excited to explore the connection between creativity and well-being. We’ll do that in part by writing creatively together — and so I’ve been gathering inspiring literary and artistic texts, paired with rich writing prompts, to share with you all,” she says.

As for a taster of what learners can expect, Alisha has also some “delicious activities planned for participants to engage with the small pleasures of daily existence, which can subtly build up to a life of more joy, presence, peace of mind, and resilience.”

Nourishing Narratives: Creative Strategies for Well-being starts online October 8, 2026.
