This is a digital event. You should receive information in your ticket or from the host about how to join online.
The session will begin with a guided meditation and end with small breakout groups.
StoryCorps will introduce its newest service, developed in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. StoryCorps Connect allows loved ones who are separated right now, to record conversations remotely for posterity in the Library of Congress. Afterward, we’ll break out into small groups to discuss where we have seen forgiveness, love, and gratitude during these times.
