Get your talking stick for the story circles in SL - May 16 noon SLT

Celebrate the International Day for Sharing Life Stories - this Friday May 16 - in Second Life by participating in a story circle!  Any group in SL can get self-organized and participate.

In each story circle, each teller will prompt the next teller the American Indian way, by handing her a talking stick.

  •  Organize your group! Make sure at least one member has the talking stick, which anyone can get by visiting the SL Campus for the Center for Digital Storytelling at  
     
    http://slurl.com/secondlife/Teaching%202/209/109/23 and opening the pink box in front of the screen by the dome. 
  •  There should be one talking stick per circle. Circles should have 10 people or less. If more folks show up, they initiate a new story circle; 
  •  The topic is a ‘miracle story’, no religious meaning implied: a story centered by what, by its impact on your life and/or surprise, felt like a 'miracle' to the teller - quoting Joe Lambert - "from 'life’s little miracles' as in the way a Buddhist might say if you pay attention every moment is a miracle, to those trully metaphysical and inexplicable events in our lives that suggest transcendent power or possibility".

Date/time: May 16 noon SLT  |  Duration: 20 minutes   |   Location: the SL location of  the group's choice (your regular group meeting place?)
