Reclaiming and Retelling our Stories

Reclaiming our stories
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Mark Gonzalez

In today's world it is more important than ever that we are able to vocalize our own narratives. But what does it mean when the narratives/stories that were given to you either no longer fit your reality. Or they are not the ones you choose to accept or pass on. Join us as we explore what it means to re create your narrative.

After conversation we will be physically manifesting our new narratives through multiple art mediums like painting, etc. Select art work will be featured in the Brown Gallery.

Our speaker for the evening will be none other than Mark Gonzales.

He specializes in creative potential, engagement strategies, and the unique role stories play in the human operating system.
