“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those
you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even
dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every
meeting with another person."--Fred RogersJoin Tara Clark, a former
Peace Corps volunteer [https://www.peacecorps.gov/lesotho/], portrait
photographer [http://taraclarkphotography.com], long time Seattleite,
mother of two, founder of Believe LOVE Unite
[http://www.believeloveunite.com] and Human Connectivity
Conservationist [http://hcconservation.blogspot.com/] for the
inaguaral Conversations with The World In My Backyard. Tara is
passionate about the importance of connecting with people outside our
familiar silos. As a global backpacker, she believes we need to live
in our communities with the open mind and heart of a traveler to
enable us to understand our communities and ourselves better, creating
a more united, healthy and supportive society.
This January 2020 gathering will kick off a montly series of
gatherings in community centers around Seattle. The goal of the
evening will be to create a respectful and safe space for people to
come together from all neighborhoods, walks of life and heritage to
share stories and perspective, gain insights and build connections.
Tara will share insights to the impact that she has experienced
because of her willingness to connect with "strangers in her backyard"
that continues to propel her work to create understanding and unity in
our communities.
There will be zero expectation of commitment to return for a 2nd
gathering or sign up to volunteer, donate or purchase anything. The
only ask is that you come as you are, have the courage to come
open-heartedly and be willing to talk with one person you do not know.
