Peace House l 2116 NE18th Ave, PDX Monday, May 1 @ 5:30 p.m.
Sharing stories can be a radical and deeply human practice for uncovering the ties that bind us. Story invites us to step into the reality of another person’s existence and instead of judgment feel kinship. Through his work with The Hearth nonprofit, Yaconelli has served communities across the United States to bridge divisions, heal trauma, shed light on injustice, and recover hope. In this inspiring and interactive presentation Mark Yaconelli and Dandelion House founder Fumiaki Tosu will show how stories can heal our families, our world, ourselves.
