Storytelling Weekend Workshop
A Window into Life: November 6-8, 2009 Workshop Registration Fee: $265Early Registration discount: $225 if paid in full by October 14, 2009 “You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born.” Join nationally acclaimed storyteller, Connie Regan-Blake, for this weekend workshop designed to nurture creativity and explore the use and power of images and archetypes in our life-stories. The workshop invites and challenges deep listening, writing and telling. The weekend offers unique opportunities to call up the stories, events and characters that shape our world. 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. In a playful atmosphere of encouragement and compassion, our work together will be practical and hands-on. Through oral and written exercises, movement activities and story-partnering, we will create a three-dimensional landscape of story, so that we enter inside the story to view the surroundings with clarity. 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 writing, telling and listening to our personal stories, we will 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 celebrate and explore our stories and the creativity that is our birthright. “Connie’s mastery as a storyteller and a teacher and her loving spirit are woven into her workshop in a way that made me feel I had taken a very long, rewarding journey over the course of few days.” Workshop participant WHAT: Weekend Storytelling Workshop with Connie Regan-Blake WHEN: November 6-8, 2009 (7:00 pm Friday evening through Sunday 1:00 pm.)
