Distilling Hope with Beth Ohlsson

Wednesday,  October 10th

at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern

Beth Ohlsson is a person in long term recovery who just happens to be a storyteller. “Distilling Hope” combines her love of a good story with her lived experience as a performer, an educator, and as an addictions counselor, bringing the Recovery experience to light.

Beth takes her message of hope into jails and prisons with her storytelling workshop, “Reaching through the Cracks: Connecting Incarcerated Persons with Loved Ones through Story.”  Learning to tell one’s own story has a healing effect which has lasting impact.  Of those inmates who had been released after completing the workshop, there was a 10% recidivism rate after 2 years.

Beth is the author “Distilling Hope: 12 Stories to Distill the 12 Steps” published by Parkhurst Brothers.  You can learn more about Beth at www.bethohlsson.com
