Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Seeing the World through a New Set of Glasses – Seven weeks living in a family compound in the small town of Taiama, Sierra Leone was a wonderful and sometimes challenging education for Faye Mogensen and her husband Christian. Newly returned from there, Faye will share her reflections on poverty, racism and cross-cultural understanding.

Faye has a Masters of Education, with a focus on storytelling as a tool for environmental change. She loves sharing folktales and myths that explore our relationships with ourselves, with one another and with nature. She also has a large repertoire of personal tales, inspired especially by travel, experiences in nature, and times gone by. Some of her stories inspire hope and generosity, others are purely for fun.
