Led by Marie A. Garlock, PhD, It Is In You initiatives activate more equitable access to health, justice, and community-building, through live keynotes, interactive educational workshops, and qualitative research.
Healthcare Storytelling Workshop for cohort in continuing clinical education program
Vision
It Is In You events, courses, and partnerships enliven participants’ diverse capacities, curiosity, and integrity amidst uphill challenges. Across venues, participants experience creative cultivation of systems-focused and inner knowledge, by which they connect authentically to their own bodies, stories, and roles as change agents. Each collaboration centers the bright wisdoms, critical priorities, and dignity of people who live daily with health inequities and injustices, and then brings in concentric circles of people and institutions willing to act for transformation.
