Stories from the Inside Out: April 13-15, 2007
"Stories move in circles. They don't move in straight lines. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories, and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home." This weekend workshop invites and challenges deep listening and telling on many levels. It offers unique opportunities to call up the stories that shape our world in an encouraging, compassionate and playful atmosphere. Our memories – cultural and personal - often go unexplored and undeveloped. As we focus our attention on these experiences, they become a wellspring of stories that enrich our lives - personally, professionally, artistically, and spiritually. During the sessions, we will create an encouraging and appreciative community for our time together as we learn through oral exercises, movement activities, and story-partnering. Connie will guide us in using our senses, our imagination and our intuition for a fresh perspective in re-visiting and re-imagining our triumphs, losses, regrets and joy. By telling and listening to our personal stories, we come to know the universal language that encompasses all of human experience. Everyone is welcome: those curious about storytelling and those who love stories - teachers and librarians, storytellers, poets, writers, clergy, grandparents and even those who don't see themselves as creative. Join us as we welcome the arrival of Spring by celebrating growth and creativity in our stories and our lives.
