Healing Justice Storytime

*In partnership with Lansing LIT*

11AM start time.

Are you curious about new ways to heal and create a community where everyone belongs and has what they need? Join us for The Healing Justice Storytime!

You are invited to come back to the story circles of your childhood and listen to readings from books included in the new Healing Justice Lending Library located within The Robin Theatre. Lightly facilitated by Tashmica Torok, this thought-provoking community gathering will  be held as a Restorative Justice Circle where participants can share  ideas and listen deeply in a safe(r) space dedicated to uplifting  collective wisdom, action, and hope.

Attendees will be granted:

• membership to the Healing Justice Lending Library
• subscription to the extremely low-volume mailing list for upcoming HJLL events and updates
• FREE access to the full catalogue of books available to borrow for up to 30 days at a time.

This event is exclusively for adults. Space is limited to 20 people.

Access: Masks  are recommended. An air filter will be in use to mimimize the risk of  contracting or spreading Covid. The Robin Theater is ADA compliant.  Reading materials will be formatted for various access needs digitally  and physically. Images descriptions will be provided for folks with low  visibility. Due to budget constraints, ASL interpretation is not  available for this event. For questions about accommodations + access  needs, send an email to tashmicatorok@gmail.com
