Monday's Dose of Togetherness: Reflections on What Matters Most with StoryCorps
Join the national oral history project, StoryCorps, for stories from their collection about resilience, connection, and gratitude, reflecting on Ira Byock’s Four Things that Matter Most. This is a time for us to take a collective breath, hear voices from across the country, and reflect together.
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.
