“You’ve got stories. We help you tell them.”
Join Earshot for a one-day storytelling retreat on Saturday, Feb 27th! Register below.
The day will be a fun, conversational (but structured!) introduction to this style of true, first-person storytelling, or an invitation to think about it more deeply. We’ll generate ideas and get some tools in the mix to craft your own stories. Leave with ideas you can put to work in your community right away, and some inspiration for even bigger plans down the road. We’ll be joined off and off throughout the day by some master storytellers, and there’ll be plenty of time for questions as we go.
Register below and once we’ve received your $50 payment* you’ll get a Zoom link for the workshop! Can’t swing $50? Email us, no questions asked, at earshotstories@gmail.com. (Otherwise, kick in and support new church!) Gileadites, reach out to Rebecca for a discount code, or read yer email.
