Storytelling opens people’s eyes, hearts,
and minds
to intimate and personal
communication. It is the
oldest
form of connecting with other human beings. It is an art form
that is experiencing resurgence, as people realize how fundamentally
important it is to truly connect with other human beings.
By listening to stories from other cultures we can gain insight
into our differences. Through insight, comes understanding, and
through understanding, tolerance. The more we learn about other
cultures, the more we realize that we share stories that have
similar lessons about life.
Through ancient legends we can learn from whence
we came and what has gone before. Through folk tales we can learn
who we
are and what we share with others on our journey. Through healing
and personal stories we can learn how to reclaim ourselves and
how to walk in the world.
