I've just launched a new workshop geared towards the aged called "Vibrant Aging: Storytelling in the Oral Tradition." As we age, something wonderful happens, and that is we become wiser because we have accumulated so much wisdom. My new workshop harnesses that wisdom by weaving it into a storytelling format. As we get older, it becomes more and more important to create a legacy, something for future generations to remember us by. The oral tradition is a personal and intimate form of storytelling used for centuries by many cultures that creates and deepens the human connection. Early storytelling combined stories, poetry, music, and dance and those who excelled at it became educators, cultural advisors, wisdom keepers and historians for the community. The history of a culture was handed down from generation to generation through these storytellers.
I conduct this Vibrant Aging Storytelling Program for retirement homes, assisted living and other elder care communities in a 45-minute format, by artfully using my storytelling skill to enable the aged to reach within to tell their stories creatively in a way that leaves a powerful impact and legacy. Participants learn how to use the wisdom of age to its fullest potential to create compelling stories in the oral tradition to gain a sense of fulfillment in their lives with a renewed vibrancy to unlock their creative inner core and share it with others.
Contact me if you know of a community that would benefit from this program.
