Science is now telling us that we think in stories; our brain is hardwired that way. This is not surprising, as since the earliest times humanity has educated itself through storytelling.

I understand that you have done a "storytelling exchange" in Britain. can you please tell me how that was arranged, the mechanics of it, and how it worked? Glenna and i are interested and are in communication with a British teller who also is interested.
my own email is storywomancaroleigh@gmail.com

We are very lucky to have Donald and the centre. Would be great to have you back again and also to have the opportunity to hear you live.

At 11:49pm on November 7, 2010, Cindy-Lee Hunter Harper said…: Hi Sheila, Thank you. After much thought I have decided to focus on Indigenous storytelling. I am connected and work in the Aboriginal community and know a few Elders who are great storytellers or who have cultural sharing to offer. Start small and grow from there. My stuff always goes on Vic Guild's blog. I have to keep up with this ring too. Cheers, Cindy-Lee
