The Power of Storytelling & Narrative Reclamation:
From 1:00PM – 2:00PM, engage in mindful and intentional storytelling. Storytelling deepens relationships and fosters new ones. It highlights the truths of communities. Learn how to shift from storytelling to truth telling as a tool for healing, repair, and reconciliation. Great storytellers honor the history that came before them while celebrating their culture and speaking their own truth to power. This workshop explores the concept of truth-telling in parallel with storytelling to encourage individuals to nurture and amplify their own stories and voices as a technique for cultural empowerment.
