Teresa Boyer Clark -- Baskets Full of Memory

An exercise in rediscovering the personal archives of memory

Teresa Clark believes many of our youth today are lost because they have no idea who they are, where they come from, or who they come from.  Society as a whole is not sharing, telling, or honoring our stories, our traditions, or our cultures.  Our history, our culture, our core beliefs as a nation, basic human decency and much more can be understood most effectively through story.  Storytelling can strengthen and open communication within all walks of life.  Join Teresa Clark for this fun-filled hands-on lab focused on the exercise of triggering and sharing personal story for families and strangers alike.
