Storytelling Workshop at the Hive
Stories conjure our humanness, foster connection, and compel us. At the very essence of our lives and our work there are stories.
Exploring these narratives helps us to gain perspective, convey the significance and impact of what we do, and engage others. From conversations with friends and neighbors to engaging others in our work and community projects; requesting support; motivating a team; or telling who we are now and where we are headed during times of transition, we are telling stories every day.
Yet how often do we take the time to look at how we tell the stories of our lives and work and how others hear them? What makes a story engaging? What makes someone want to listen? What makes our message really land?
Join Leigh Tillman Facilitation and Dandelion Spring Farm for this interactive and engaging workshop. We will determine the stories we want to tell, learn and utilize techniques that help us effectively convey our stories, practice telling engaging stories, and learn from one another what is effective in our storytelling.
We will share in a delicious, simple lunch feast prepared by Dandelion Spring Farm with food from the land.
