Heart to Heart Storytellers The club mission is to maintain an uplifting environment supportive of members, tellers and listeners, who desire to experience and/or learn the art and craft of storytelling. Discussions on how to write and tell stories are based on published workers of professional tellers, articles from NSN Storytelling magazines and workshops attended. Members tell stories from a multitude of sources. Members are encouraged to further develop their skills though coaching, which is optional. Sometimes a teller just wishes to get the story "out" without coaching.

1 pm - 2:30 pm   
FREE for guests. Membership $10.00 per year.

The Storytellers Cafe' Story Slam
State: Kentucky
A family vacation, a trip with dad to the hardware store, bathing the family dog – all stories. A canoe trip with friends, a battle with cancer, an afternoon cleaning out the garage – all stories. A wedding day, a funeral, a birthday party – all stories. We all love to share our stories and love hearing others.

Storytelling is an art. An art that needs to be shared. Stories are how we connect to one another, how we communicate. Weather you’re telling your story or listening to others’ it’s all about communicating and connecting. Join the fun every 2nd Thursday at Common Grounds Coffee House for the Storytellers Café. You’ll be inspired, I guarantee it.

"Hearing the Call: Claiming Your Story", a weekend workshop retreat on story, myth and journey
State: North Carolina
Everyone has a story to tell. Heeding the call of story launches us on a hero’s journey that is filled with wonders, guides and undiscovered gems, as well as tests, challenges and demons. Embracing the unfamiliar path can be daunting – and rewarding. And if you are at a crossroads, this might be the moment to be daring. In the claiming, creating, and living of our story, we can find courage to embark on a deeper, more authentic life.
This workshop retreat offers the opportunity to explore those stuck places in your life through myth, music and metaphor. By using story, music, art, poetry and guided imagery, you will have the opportunity to examine who you are and where you are going, and to embrace the story of your hero’s journey that lies within.
7:00 pm Friday evening though Saturday at 5:00 pm
Admission  $195 ($160 if paid in full by November 21, 2011)
December 9 - 10
