When the storm passes, the real work of living begins. In this two-hour workshop, we read The Whispering Benches, a storybook by local author Cynthia Rafetto Kreilick, about a Haitian earthquake survivor who recovers his strength through faith, friendship and meaningful work in the City of Philadelphia.
Through guided reading, discussion and creative expression, we explore how resilience can grow after tragedy, and identify the supports in our own lives that create the conditions for this to happen. Participants receive a complimentary copy of the book.
The Whispering Benches was inspired by Cynthia’s work with Haitian men and women, displaced by the 2010 earthquake, who came to Philadelphia to rebuild their lives. She helped them get licensed to open family child care programs.
