Listen to Elisa's first podcast!

"Forgiveness: The Heart of Healing"
This podcast is an interview with myself and the host Eric Wolf on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009, but you can listen to it and many other great storytellers anytime by going to www.storytellingwithchildren.com. The subject of the podcast reflects my work with adults rather than children, though I have and can tell stories to children and mixed audiences on the topic of forgiveness.
