This 80 minute video is comprised of core concepts and activity prompts excerpted from Lani Peterson’s four-hour virtual workshop produced by Healing Story Alliance on May 21, 2023.

Through telling our stories and listening to the stories of others who walk a similar path, we can explore within ourselves and between each other, the underlying knowledge, skills, and support we need to help us live our lives more fully.
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.
NEWS! The Social Action Stories book has won a Storytelling World Award!
