Why Reflections on Rosebuds?

Firstly, because it is a beautiful alliteration.

Secondly, we wanted to emphasize the deep listening and reflection that goes into medicine and into our stories.  Rosebud refers to The City of Roses (Portland, Oregon) where our storytellers are based, as well as the fragile beginning of life represented in a rosebud.  For classic movie lovers, who can forget how Citizen Kane reminded us that our childhood shapes the essence of who we are when he breathed his last word, “Rosebud.”
