Healing Story Alliance is delighted to present a video recording of the virtual concert, “Social Action Stories” curated by Dr. Kevin Cordi on June 4th, 2023. Listening to and telling social action stories renders people and their stories visible. This program, which grew out of the recently released book, Social Action Stories, (Ed. Cordi, Milks, and Van Tessell, 2023) captures the voices of five storytellers, activists, educational reformers, therapists, and regular folks who advocate for change through deep listening and deliberate action. These stories are intended to move your work as a storyteller towards an equitable world.
You have something to say in a story, but how do you say it without sounding too pushy or opinionated?

Rich with historical insights, this workshop opens eyes and hearts. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your mission driven motives for telling socially relevant stories and be given practical ways to overcome fears of taking stands. A rich and thought-provoking instructional video for veteran activists or for those who are still discovering what causes call to them.
