Join Detroit Mercy and storyteller/artist Satori Shakoor for the final session of Bridges not Fences VI on Wednesday, April 9, from 5:30-8 p.m. in Health Professions Facility (CHP), Room 124.
In this session, four stories will be told offering a view into experiences of trauma and the healing that came after. Following the stories, various methods of healing — including sound therapy, Tai Chi and reiki — will be demonstrated.
Shakoor, a 2017 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow, is the executive producer for the award-winning The Secret Society Of Twisted Storytellers (TSSOTS), which she founded in July 2012 in Detroit. TSSOTS has a global mission to connect humanity, heal and transform community and to provide an uplifting, thought- provoking, soul-cleansing entertainment experience through the art and craft of storytelling.
Through these workshops, Shakoor provides a platform in the form of storytelling in which to share these stories and give others hope that with patience, love and support, we all can move past our trauma. Bridges not Fences will be attended by licensed professionals in the event that audience members need further support.
Students, faculty and staff are welcome, and food will be provided. For more information or questions, please contact Assistant Professor of Biochemistry Mara Livezey at livezemr@udmercy.edu. This event is sponsored by ReBUILDetroit and co-sponsored by the Office of Mission Integration and the College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences.
