How can we create, find and hold spaces for human connection and empowered change, in the face of polarisation and divisive powers? How do we keep tending the flame of vision for futures full of potential and possibility when our hearts are pressured and worried?The folk tale Meat Without Salt tells of a king who asks his daughter for a meal of the finest food imaginable. She serves him a bowl of ‘tongue stew’ saying:
“Father, the tongue is capable of the finest things in the world - speaking the words of love, friendship, healing, kindness, generosity, care and creation.”
When the King demands a meal made of the foulest thing in the world, the princess serves the same stew: “Father, the tongue is also capable of sewing hate, separation, hurt, pain, prejudice and war.”
What stories are we called to give tongue to now, that can go beyond the binaries of ‘good and evil’ and help us listen to each other, and to a deeper wisdom?
Storyteller facilitators Roi Gal-Or and Hannah Moore are inviting you to a week-long intensive for practitioners who wish to develop their skills in applied storytelling - a space for enquiry, listening, reflecting, inspiration and renewal. Together we will explore how the imagination, storytelling and listening beyond words play a part in creating the world around us.
The week will include time for:
Exploring how applied storytelling can support you in creating and holding transformative, regenerative and visionary spaces.
Discover how storytelling can support us to safely explore difference, deepen connection, and set in motion the futures our imagination and our stories know are possible.
Practices for navigating through these challenging times of collapse, composting decaying stories, and growing in your own capacity to sit with the trouble in safe containers with others.
Supervision circles in which participants will be invited to share cases related to space-holding and storytelling practice, and receive collective listening, witnessing, and reflective support for professional development, integration and insight.
This course is for storytellers and story lovers - those who already tell and share stories as well as those who are excited to do so. The focus will be on ways of working with applied storytelling in interpersonal contexts, rather than how to tell stories.
Bring your questions about working with story in the context of facilitation, coaching, group processes, training programmes, creative workshops, community building, education, activism, social justice, conflict resolution, and peace building.
