The Power of Dialogue:

Addressing Microaggressions

When we take time to reflect upon the stories, myths, and attachments that have shaped our identities, we begin to recognize the limits to our views of the world. We begin to realize that our perspectives alone are incomplete. It is only through connecting with others and sharing stories that we can develop empathy and challenge those limitations. This workshop is designed out of a passion for the power of artistic expression and a desire to create space for meaningful story writing, sharing, and dialogue. Participants are provided with the opportunity to actively engage in thinking about their personal stories. The workshop aims at connecting the human experience and building relationships throughout meaningful dialogue.
