Stories from the Inside Out: Exploring Personal Experience, March 17-19, 2006: Asheville, NC
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 on them, these moments can be a wellspring of stories that enrich our lives - personally, professionally, artistically, and spiritually.

So join us in 2006 as we welcome the arrival of Spring by celebrating story, new growth and creativity. For teachers and librarians, storytellers, clerics, grandparents, poets and all those drawn to discovering their own stories.

2. Summer Storytelling Extravaganza, July 16-23, 2006: Asheville, NC

Eight days of study, coaching, telling, day-trips and discovery. This in-depth storytelling workshop is designed for all levels of expertise; from beginner to experienced storyteller. We will work on finding, developing, learning, and polishing stories. During the week we will make several day-trips including a journey to the Hicks home ? the birthplace of Ray Hicks who was the patriarch of Southern Traditional Storytelling. And in celebration, there will a performance opportunity at the end of our time together to tell for invited guests, family and friends.
