Returning to the Light: Becoming Storytellers with Michael Jones
Date: Saturday, February 8th 2020
Time: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
February marks the return of the light. It's a fitting time to gather together and shine a light on our own stories, in a storytelling workshop led by Michael Jones.
Registration is limited to 20 beginning or experienced storytellers. Refreshments are included in the workshop price of $25, payable in advance.
"During this afternoon together we will discover that we are all master storytellers when the myth we are unpacking is the story of our own life," Michael says.
Widely know as a pianist and creative facilitator, Michael's warm humour and genuine wisdom was evident when he told his story, "Who Will Play Your Music if You Don't?" at Storytelling Orillia's evening concert at OMAH in early November.
Michael is a mesmerizing storyteller. He is also a gifted workshop leader, and his offer to lead this storytelling workshop for Storytelling Orillia and area tellers has come when a number of people have expressed a wish to learn more about the art.
In the Feb. 8 workshop Michael will shine a light on four portals to the imagination that offer us fertile ground for becoming storytellers.
"These portals will awaken our sense of calling and vocation, celebrating our unique place in the family of things," Michael says.
Music will weave through the afternoon, provided by cellist Marta Solek, who joined Michael at the evening concert in November.
