Over the course of the week participants will explore these three tools in the Art of Story Making

the house, the life, the story

The House

Construct the house, be it in metaphor or reality.  Welcome beauty and security.  Be a keeper of the timeless and timebound.  Learn to create structures and practices that invite belonging, curiosity and productivity. 

The Life

Consider taking your senses out of digital speed and down to earth. Step into ritual time, storytime and remember the old ways.  Let the rhythm of the natural world unfold across your table and your work in the world. Get interested in what deeply matters to each person. What is their story? Learn to lead within the circle.  Listen, relate and reflect.  Behold how action and rest, stillness and movement create sustainable nourishment.

The Story

Imagine everything and everyone is necessary and needed. Practice resourcefulness. Investigate how curiosity sustains harmony for endless growth. Balance the necessity for play and purpose.  Ignite reverence and discipline to the art of contributing together. Create artifacts that symbol meaning and significance belonging to the people and place. Relish in side-by-side learning and working as we cross generations.  Be a steward of regenerative spaces. Tell stories.
