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".
Note: Talking stick designed by Portuguese SL resident Genius Bikcin. (Thank you Genius!)
Date/time: May 16 noon SLT | Duration: 20 minutes | Location: the SL location of the group's choice (your regular group meeting place?)
