The Modality of Story Telling
Lauren Marold will be speaking on the Modality of Story Telling. As humans, we have built our understanding of the world through oral tradition. Storytelling builds empathy and develops connections between people as we seek to better understand our own experiences in life. Lauren will share ideas on how we can continue to tell our stories and create lasting connections with our families, friends, and communities.
