Keynote: Tomorrow Needs You: The Art of Owning Your Story, Discovering Your Truth and Centering L.O.V.E. in Your Practice
Presented by Jonathan Grady
August 8 1:15-1:45pm Centennial Ballroom
At a time of deep divisiveness, how can cultivating “self-trust” empower us to unlock the doors we try to forget: the doors of self-hatred, the doors of letting others impede silence upon us, the doors of internalized racism, and the doors of shame. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness and our ability to tell our own story, this keynote address will explore the importance of honoring and owning our story and our struggle as relics of our growth and our ability to endure and succeed. As we examine restorative practices and strategies, this keynote address will also highlight how “L.O.V.E” can be utilized as a way to empower ourselves and others, dispel negativity and illusions, cultivate seeds of hope and radically heal.
