Although we prefer to custom design workshops for you, here a few "pre-packaged" workshops that can be customized for your group.

:::Introduction to Storytelling
What is storytelling? How do I do it? What do I do with my hands? Where do I get stories from? How do I find my audience? I’m so nervous, how do I get started? What happens if I make a mistake? How do I write my own stories?...we answer these and many other questions in our hands-on, fun workshops presented in a variety of different formats and times.

:::Telling for the Story: Faith Based Storytelling
Learn how to choose faith based scripture stories and improve your ability to tell them. How do you connect "your" story with "the" story? We put special emphasis on telling in the first person.

:::Advanced Telling for the Experienced Teller
In a workshop designed for the serious teller, we focus on the specific needs of the tellers present. What do you want to get from the story you tell? Answering this question helps you to know how to improve the telling of all of your stories. Our "real world" experiences can help you improve the telling you do.

:::Telling for Tweens and Teens
Is storytelling just kids’ stuff? No! You can tell to the 10- to 18-year-old age group; you just need to know where to put your energies and how to cycle the energy you get from your teen audience. Participatory telling rules! We oughta know: this is the age group where we do most of our telling. Come learn in this high energy workshop available now!

:::So You Want to Tell Like a Pro?
What are the special concerns of those who wish to make themselves and their telling available for sponsors and events? What? How? How Much? Why? What is the importance of styles and repertoire? This workshop assists you in answering these questions and in helping you draw up your own plan. Handouts, references, contracts and more.

:::Developing Adult Telling
How do you develop spoken word experiences for adult audiences? How do you mine your own life events and turn them into stories that touch and motivate? What are the language issues? If you are interested in telling for adult audiences, be a part of this workshop.
