Storytelling Workshop and Performance featuring Connie Regan-Blake

Storytelling is easier than you think!  This workshop welcomes all – teachers, parents, librarians, ministers, storytellers, and those just curious. Connie generously shares tools she has developed and learned throughout her trailblazing storytelling career that spans 5 decades and 6 continents. 

With partner exercises and a ‘walk through memories’, you will enjoy exploring events of your life in a supportive, creative atmosphere. Utilizing ‘deep listening’, you will also experience how the 5 senses and the ‘colors’ of the moment bring a story to life and connect you with your listeners. Whether telling to family on the front porch, a gathering at a party or on a stage, you’ll get a taste of ‘art & heart’ of storytelling.

So join us if you are drawn to stories – both the telling and the listening.
