The magic of storytelling has long been the only way to pass knowledge from one generation to the other. This night we will utilise the ancient art of storytelling to explore the complex and challenging issues facing us in our modern society. Through the experience of listening to and sharing stories, we can be united and learn from one another. Storytelling opens us up to understanding the connections we have with others around our wonderful globe.
★What are we aiming for?
The calling question for tonight: Stories about personal transformations. Stories of life changing moments that really altered your perception of the world and act as a turning point in ones life. We invite you to experience who you are, to recognise your story and connect beyond projections. Show yourself, and see the other.
★Whom are we welcoming
Everybody is free to join whenever you got a story or not. You don’t have to prepare anything and you can also just listen to what others got to share. Actually listening is an art all by itself and essential for this evening. Its our challenge to empower the storyteller with our unconditional attention.
★Personalizing the workshop
If you really want to tell a story please contact me and we will make sure you will get the space to do so. But also feel free to ask me on the spot. We will set the mood, create a save and emphatic place, dim the lights, start a “fire” and provide you with everything to make it a night to remember.
★In this workshop we will do exercises that will allow you to:
– Experience and express yourself
– Connect and reflect with others in a meaningful way
– Experience the effects of your story on yourself and others
– Explore possibilities beyond your story
– Embrace the lessons learned as a group
– Connect to your reality
Come and learn!
Your host Steven Sonneveld
