How do we tell the stories of our communities that are constantly under threat? How do we recover the lost histories of ancestors? How do we share the good news of our communities, when society only relates poverty, violence, and suffering? This workshop provides strategies for telling our narratives in life-giving ways and in and through the community. We will offer practices for reclaiming our lives and narratives for the purpose of healing our communities and enacting social change.
