Rebecca and all,

I'm not sure that this answers your question, but hope it might possibly lead you to someone who can.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I'm writing to let you know about a special conference being planned by 
the Healing Story Alliance. HEALING THROUGH STORY (www.healingstory.org) 
is for those who love story and want to expand and deepen their use of 
story within health care, mental health, end of life and palliative 
care, spiritual care, community building, and healing arts practices.

The conference, which will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from February 
25 - 27, 2004, will provide opportunities to investigate and explore the 
use of story in healing; gather and share experiences with others using 
story within their healing work; and develop practical skills in 
evoking, gathering, telling, and listening to stories. I will be 
presenting on various models from across the U.S. for using digital 
storytelling and digital media in the context of promoting healing from 
and organizing against violence. Here are just a few of the workshop titles:

Truth-telling and Forgiveness: Story, Culture, and Change
Transforming Community Trauma (NY - 9/11) with Story Risking Peace
River's Edge Playback Theatre
Helping Young Tellers Promote Peace
The Story of a Lifetime Project - Community Storytelling with Visual 
Storyboards and Oral Storytelling by Elders

Additional information about the conference is below. Most of the 
outreach is being done via word of mouth, due to lack of huge amounts of 
funding. Please help spread the word by sharing this invitation with 
others who you think might be interested!

Best Wishes,

Amy Hill
