About the event
Blended Stories Workshop
There are folk tales, fairytales, myths and legends. What happens when we combine those with our personal narratives? Themes are magnified; ancient wisdom is connected to current experiences; and a new type of storytelling emerges. This class will guide you to locating an existing story with the same values and messages as your personal story to create a unique blending.
The workshop series is for four sessions. The 4 session workshop is $100 for all four dates.
Dates of Blended Stories Workshop are: 6/14, 6/28, 7/12 and 7/19.
All workshop dates are on Sunday from 4:00-5:30 PM in the Friendly Community Room.
This workshop is for 18+
