Story Circles, Race and Culture in YOUR Generation | Senior Edition

Storytellers Macon along with Wesleyan's Center for Social and Racial Equity is holding a free Storytelling workshop for seniors approximately aged 60+. 

The oral tradition of speaking our stories to each other is our most ancient form of communication, culture, and persuasion. In this workshop will move us through a progression of storytelling basics, including structure, vulnerability, and details. Participants will practice deep listening and cultivate personal stories. We will discuss how personal stories build empathy and community identity.
