Narrative Circles

The Narrative Circles approach is distinguished by principles and practices of narrative theory intended to create a shared exploration where each individual’s multi-storied self is affirmed. A welcoming and safe space is created for affirmation and connection across lines of difference so that we learn to take a values-based approach to how we exist and interact with each other. The workshops also provide an opportunity for professional development, and anyone participating in 3 or more sessions will receive a certificate. Dinner will be provided, so please be sure to RSVP!

Tuesday, April 12
7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
In-person event. One Magnolia Circle 241. RSVP Here.

This session will share evidence-based insights and provide you with questions to consider as you evaluate food and nutrition claims for yourself.
