Narrative Healing for Embodied Change w/Reggie Marra
Description
In September 2018 each member of the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court, the President and Vice President received a copy of Reggie Marra's Killing America: Our United States of Ignorance, Fear, Bigotry, Violence and Greed, a book of poems that explores our country's narrative of violence over a 25-year period.
In this interview, which took place before the books were sent, Dr. Gary Huffaker and Reggie discuss the role of narrative in healing--how honestly owning our story(ies), and learning how to tell a truthful story that helps us heal, rather than one that keeps us stuck, are essential steps for anyone interested in personal and/or cultural healing.
