Narrative Medicine for Earth and Body
Narrative Medicine is an emerging tradition which values the stories we tell about illness and health as key to deeper healing and greater meaning.

An installation of The Waiting Room project concept renderings and material prototypes were exhibited (along with other artists) at the Lawrence Art Center, Lawrence Kansas, in conjunction with a reading to celebrate the release of Kansas Poet Laureate Caryn Mirriam Goldberg's memoir, The Sky Begins At your Feet, a writing workshop, forum and Exhibit. The exhibition was curated by Carol Ann Carter.
