Asher Lyons — Founder & Lead Facilitator of Medicine Theater

Asher Lyons is the founder and visionary of Medicine Theater, an expressive arts organization dedicated to supporting people young and old in discovering liberation, joy, and healing through the art of spontaneous play, improvisation, and co-created mythic storytelling.

For over 20 years, Asher has been facilitating creative journeys that awaken the imagination, intuitive knowing, and the natural freedom of our creative spirit. His work draws on decades of experience in improvisational theater, ensemble play creation, performance, and storytelling, with training from teachers and performers associated with Chicago's Second City, BATS Improv, and the San Francisco Mime Troupe.

Asher has also spent more than two decades learning from Indigenous Elders, Wisdom Keepers, and storytellers from diverse cultures and traditions throughout the Americas. These experiences have deeply informed his relationship with storytelling, ceremony, the natural world, and the transformative power of creative expression.

Through Medicine Theater, Asher brings these worlds together, inviting people to rediscover their original innocence, awaken their creative spirit, and enter the mythic story realms where new possibilities for healing, connection, and liberation can emerge.
