Événement
Finding and Telling the Story (10 CE credits for Masters Level Professionals/10 clock hours for educators)
DATES:
Saturday, July 15 10am-5pm (Registration 9:30am)
Sunday, July 16 12pm-4:30pm
DESCRIPTION:
The power of personal narrative is in its potential to build and strengthen connections, drawing us to the storyteller to hear and in return share. We are unified by what we have in common and are attracted by our differences in many ways. We can share these strong stories by finding a compelling story structure that ensures that the audience has a doorway to enter a story and feel empathetic response. In this 10 hour workshop participants will learn core storytelling tools, engage in games and activities that explore narrative structure, and incorporate feedback to help Find and Tell the Story that wants to be told.
Over the two day workshop participants will explore in a creative and safe environment how to express ideas shaped in a spirit of camaraderie. This process involves listening to each other, contributing ideas, taking risks, facing vulnerability, and offering feedback that inspires momentum. We are building a circle transformed by the knowledge that we want to hear each others stories and wish each other well. In the workshop we will employ active, experiential learning, and allow plenty of time for discussion of these activities that may become a part of a storytelling toolbox. The safe container environment invites participants to, connect, and breathe life into the true story that is asking to be told.
