Session Highlights

Story Telling Stories

Stephanie Briggs, M.A. Storytelling conveys events through words, sound, movement, deep looking and listening, and as an opening to curiosity, empathy, understanding, self-compassion and compassion for others. This session investigates using stories to explore individual biases and beliefs, uncover how we interpret this global society, and develop pathways toward transformative communal engagement for faculty and students.
