Here is what Megan is planning to explore with us at the gathering on the weekend of 5 - 7 July, in Brisbane, Queensland: let her thoughts whet your appetite and inspire your fingers to fill out those registration forms and book those flights for a weekend of immersion in our Sacred Story.
Saturday, I'm thinking of doing John 4 (parts of the chapter) and connections with word / water / scriptures ... and I would hopefully invite the people to experience the connections / relationships between the gospel / Scriptures and storytelling by heart (not memorisation).
I thought for the workshop we could either explore parables – specifically as religious / sacred stories that are meant to 'interrupt' our lives and turn us upside down and inside out ... or storytelling and scripture – on words and their power to convert, make peace, do justice, etc.
And then the closing on Sunday morning I thought I would do something on making stories come true – dreaming and telling them into becoming reality and actually happening.
I don't know about you, but I find Megan's thoughts are enticing, and can't wait to explore the Gospels, storytelling, and living into and out of the story with Megan and fellow storytellers. See you there!!

US Festival Gathering
This year, three Australians - Annette, Gillian & Robyn - made the trek over to North Carolina for the International Festival Gathering of the Network of Biblical Storytellers.
They had good intentions of blogging the experience as they went, but it really is such a full-on engagement of your being - in other words, they were having so much fun - that there just wasn't time. So our travellers promise to offer us their reflections on the gathering when they return to Oz this week. Stay tuned!

A great storyteller makes you forget that a particular person is standing before you and you are transcended somewhere else.
Not a gesture or word is wasted
