Re-storying Idaho with the Healing Power of Hope

I am blooming from the wound where I once bled. –Rumi

Idaho is fraught rich with stories of loss hope. Stories of failure resilience. Stories of doubt belief in a better future. Some of those stories are often repeated and some have not yet been told. It’s time to revisit our narratives from the past, to revise our stories for the future, to re-story a state and its beings whose destiny relies on what kind of storytellers we raise and what kind of ancestors we are going to become.

In this interactive session that blends story, poetry, traditional ecological knowledge, science, and history, CMarie Fuhrman, Idaho writer in residence resistance will guide you on a journey of re-storyation. She will provide prompts, pedagogies, and poems to mix with imagination and literature to teach hope, resilience, and love and show how the craft of literature can make the stories and beliefs that change the future.
