Mary Alice Long on Playing With Dreams and Re-Imagining Your Story
We turn the tables on our regular co-host Mary Alice Long to talk about her Archival Memoir Project and her Active Dreaming Workshop. Poet Anne O'Reilly joins us from Ireland as co-host for this episode as we talk with Mary Alice about her personal archival memoir, which includes a written memoir, performances and collection of images inspired by the birth of her surrogate son in 1987. She'll share more about the broader Archival Memoir Project, and how others might connect with it to document and share their own stories and experiences. Plus, we'll find out how our dreams can help us shape and live a more creative, playful and healthy life.
