Join Forefront Suicide Prevention and filmmaker Rick Stevenson to experience the power of connection through storytelling

With musician Nate Nzanga and conscious movement and meditation teacher Ivan Figueroa.

Join college and high school students for Hope & Cope 2020, a virtual event that invites you to reflect on the impact the world-changing events of 2020 have had on your life, through storytelling and connection with others. By choosing to attend this virtual event and the story-telling you do immediately thereafter, it may change you – and the rest of your life.

 

AS PART OF THIS EVENT, YOU WILL
• Tell and hear stories of the most authentic, personal kind.
• Build resilience as you explore and articulate your values, fears, and dreams.
• Help others cope if you decide to share your story.

Film-maker Rick Stevenson will teach storytelling skills – and introduce an online story platform that you can use to easily record and submit your stories. Stevenson has taught storytelling to youth across six continents. Storytelling is one of humankind’s oldest tools for gaining insight into self and others – perfect for use amongst the anxiety and uncertainty experienced amid these world-changing events.

Also appearing is musician Nate Nzanga, who launched from North Seattle’s Shorecrest High School into a successful career as a soul-pop storyteller. Nate’s mission is “to spread light in the world.”

Conscious movement and meditation teacher Ivan Figueroa will share his journey to reach the life he was meant to live. Ivan will send us off with a mindfulness exercise designed to help us navigate the challenges we’re facing.
