LONGER DESCRIPTION
This workshop will start with finding stories and then explore easy ways of learning them – no memorizing! Finding a tale you love and enjoying telling it - the basics of sharing stories to strengthen community. This tale-sharing will cultivate the ability to listen to others, as well as tell your truth. Stories are bountiful, both in number, and in what they give to our lives.
