Date: 20th to 22nd Feb, 2015
Swaraj University
Once upon a time, above the big brown land and under the big blue sky, there flew a tiny little story. The story never knew where she was headed to and where she began from. She floated, floated, and floated in the air without awareness for the longest time. One fine day, the wind angrily blew her down to the Earth. When awareness knocked her doors, she opened her eyes and sipped nourishment deep from the Earth’s belly. And in the joy of meeting the sun up in the sky, the story burnt herself and transformed into many tiny little stories, ready to float again, under the big blue sky and above the big brown land. The seed of stories is there within every one of us. Story-tellers are not a separate species from the planet of grapes. You are the one and there's one in everyone.
We invite you to 'The Story-tellers’ Gathering' to experience the seed within, to share and gift your stories. Let us create a pool of never-ending stories. Anyways, the stories never end. They are passed on to be re-told one day, under a different sky and a different sun.
What does this gathering offer?
We would be creating a learning space for the participants to learn different forms of story-telling and also would be offered are tools and techniques to go deeper and experiment different aspects of story-telling. Come full with the bag of stories because there will be open spaces everyday (and night too) to share your stories, tools and techniques, and other complementary skills (music, dance, meditation, etc.)
