We are a storytelling group that is made up of people of many faiths. People who minister to others within their own spiritual tradition, instill values and shape character, who counsel or simply wish to have their spirit uplifted by stories are welcome. Our goal is to be of service/to connect with people of all spiritualities and faiths; to rejoice in the richness of our diversity, to break down the barriers which sometimes divide us and to build up that which we have in common.
Come to tell (or to listen), to share resources and storytelling techniques and to make contact with others who believe in the moral, the spiritual and healing power of story. Each month, from September to June, we are hosted by a different faith community. We meet in synagogues, mosques, Buddhist centers, Christian churches and a local interfaith sanctuary. We are always seeking new groups with whom we can share.
We are associated with the
Interfaith Story, a discussion group of the National Storytelling Network
.
