“Days later as I reflect on her presentation, I remain stunned by Dr. Fu's honesty, transparency, and courage.”

I’m a storyteller.

My stories teach, inspire, and challenge.

I believe stories can connect us and change our world for good.

Let’s share stories together!

  • Where did our creativity go – and how can we get it back? In this lively, genre-blending session, explore the connections between creativity and wellness for individuals, communities, and organizations, consider the external and internal factors that influence our creativity, and rediscover channels and strategies through which creativity and wellness can be reclaimed.

  • Every conversation has the potential to connect. Learn how to build relationships even in the most challenging clinical and non-clinical conversations, using the three core skills of improvisation: attunement, affirmation, and advancement.

  • Leaders must be ready for everything. Learn dynamic skills and strategies for successfully leading your communities through times of uncertainty and change.

  • Every healer has a story. Through a narrative lens, discover how to recognize and share the stories of our lives as healers, validate each other’s journeys, and build supportive healers’ communities through storytelling.

  • In the face of despair and uncertainty, how do we find inner peace? Learn how an interdisciplinary approach integrating the arts, humanities, and sciences reveals an intersection of presence, personal empowerment, and peace. Discover how to cultivate presence and navigate life’s uncertainties with intention and clarity.

  • Do you know your true voice? Learn how to listen more closely to yourself and others, trust and affirm yourself, and create a safe spotlight for those who have too long been silent — including ourselves.

  • What do we do when there is no answer? Faced with exponential increases in medical knowledge, explore the definition and expectations of evidence-based medicine, then consider novel approaches for regarding evidence-based medicine in ways that integrate cognitive development and wellbeing.
