This is for access to the recorded concert. All funds will support Pow Wow Grounds and Monarca.

Now is not the time to be silent. Join Twin Cities poets and storytellers Danielle Daniel, Davi Gray, Oogie Push, Pam Schweitzer, Sue Searing, and Laura Packer for a fundraising concert for Pow Wow Grounds and Monarca, two of the many organizations doing the work to help and protect people at risk from ICE.

This concert is live on zoom and open to all ages, though not all stories and poems may be appropriate for everyone. This event will be recorded and available for two weeks.

Let's hear some good art, make some good trouble, and remember that we are stronger together. Thanks.

The stories we tell matter. Whether we are telling to kids, crafting a presentation for work, preparing for a concert, or something else entirely, what we say and how we say it is important. 

Listening matters. When we listen to each other we find understanding and compassion we might otherwise have missed. 

Storyteller, coach, and author Laura Packer has 30+ years of experience helping people create and share stories, listen to each other more deeply, and leading organizations and individuals to better stories and deeper self-understanding.. She understands the transformational power of storytelling and listening, and how they help us understand ourselves, each other, and the world.

In addition to her award-winning performance and writing work, Laura is an experienced coach and educator, helping people understand themselves, their stories, and their worlds.. Her coaching and teaching work ranges from storytelling to writing to creativity to social change and more, and has been described as "transformational."

As the sole proprietor of thinkstory.com, Laura helps for- and non-profits identify, craft and hone their stories. Whether for marketing, recruitment, fund raising, leadership, or something else, every organization has stories that need to be told.
