Mindworks Chat | Oct 15th 5pm | Narrative Medicine Bridging Divides: Cultivating Empathy, Connection and Healing

Narrative Mindworks member Laurie Kovens has been tasked with creating a narrative medicine workshop that addresses the personal and professional impact of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

We invite you to join us for an interactive session where we will discuss potential formats, structures, and content for the workshop. Together, we will reflect on the broader role that narrative medicine can play in helping individuals and communities navigate the challenges of world events. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate and contribute your insights to shape a meaningful and timeless offering for a wide range of audiences.  RSVP by October 14th: This email address is being protected from spambots.
