Join us for the third event in a new Healing Story Alliance series where authors are interviewed about their creative writing processes and the healing power of storytelling. Storytelling, unique among all narrative arts, engages listeners in a profound way, deepening our understanding of what healing means and how it functions.

In this session, noted storyteller/author Jo Radner will interview Noa Baum about her book A Land Twice promised: An Israeli Woman’s Quest for Peace.

Audience participation is encouraged, with opportunities to ask questions and share observations inspired by Noa’s work and the interview. This event benefits The Healing Storytelling Alliance, dedicated to promoting healing through the art of storytelling.

While it will not be necessary to read Noa’s book in advance, copies may be obtained at: https://www.amazon.com/Land-Twice-Promised-Israeli-Womans/dp/1942934491
