Storytelling in Pursuit of Peace and Reconciliation Somewhere on this planet, at any given time, human beings are at war. What can we do? How can we contribute our voices? As storytellers, we have an exceptional tool for helping to promote tolerance and understanding. It has been said that you can't hate people once you've heard their stories. Whether or not that is precisely true, we may certainly find it more difficult to dehumanize and dismiss them.

Meditation and vizualizations based on Jewish sources: (meditation is an ancient tradition in Judaism, that was widely ignored for many centuries, but has experienced a modern day revival.) EG Rabbi Arye Kaplan, Melinda Ribner

Writing, putting pen to paper is a powerful tool to help us clarify goals, express feelings, organize our experience and open up to healthy beginnings. Research has shown that writing about how you feel can really effect our health.
