Cooking up Stories

With Connie Regan-Blake

Can you remember a time when someone close to you shared a story that moved you, made you laugh, changed your mind or blew open your heart? Telling stories is as natural and vital as taking a breath! This workshop welcomes everyone: writers curious about the oral word, those who want to explore their personal experiences and those who simply love stories. As we focus our attention, we are refreshed by a wellspring of stories that enriches our lives – personally, professionally, artistically, and spiritually.
