Lecture Schedule
Stories as Seeds (digging deeper into our personal and communal stories)
Wednesday, March 25, 7:30 p.m.
Lindsay-Crossman Chapel
How are stories born in the world, and what does it mean for us to embrace the stories that are a part of our early lives? In this talk, Curtice will share about stories of childhood and adolescence (especially faith and religion) and help us discover how stories shape us and teach us who we are.
Book signing
Books will be available for purchase. Further details coming soon.
Finding Stories in the World (focusing on stories of adulthood and elder hood)
Thursday, March 26, 9:30 a.m.
Lindsay-Crossman Chapel
In this talk, we will explore stories of adulthood and elder hood, like how we understand wellness and happiness, what myths mean to us, and how kinship shapes our beliefs as we grow older.
Interactive Session: Stories for Future Generations (based on the last part of the book)
Thursday, March 26, 1:30 p.m.
Strosacker Hall, Sandstone Three
This is a workshop, so in our time together, we will hear readings/stories from "Everything Is a Story," and there will be time for guided journaling and sharing in pairs or groups. We will explore how to shape stories for future generations, and what it means to ask which stories we want to keep and which ones we want to pass back to the earth to be composted.
