Connie is joining other storytellers for a free online performance of ‘kind stories.’
The Healing Story Alliance hosts regular gatherings online of “Kind” stories with the understanding that exploring kindness in its many faces and forms, in both folk tales and personal ones, we dive deeply into multiple experiences of kindness. Come listen and see what memories of kindness emerge for you.
Megan Wells is emceeing the evening and Andy Offit Irwin, Gauri Raje and Connie are telling along with community tellers.
Please plan to join us on February 4, 2024, 7:00pm – 8:30pm EST on Zoom.
