It uses Norse and Celtic storytelling to dive into 3 basic principles: The Power of the stories we tell ourselves, and allow others to tell us about ourselves. "Feeding the story" as a life skill for interpersonal communication skills and deepening authentic connections. What we can learn about suffering from these old stories. Each 3 session course will use a different story told in 3 parts followed by a discussion on the 3 basic principles. We will learn how the stories we tell ourselves, and allow others to tell us about ourselves can carry a powerful influence over our lives, and how through intentionality, we can recraft our own personal stories. In feeding the story we will learn a powerful technique that has brought healing to many people, but also how this technique can be applied to our daily interactions with others, and in so doing greatly deepen our understanding of others and allow us to build more authentic understanding relationships. Through these stories we will also gain valuable insight into what they are trying to teach us about the nature and purpose of suffering in our lives. We will also learn a new perspective on suffering, that when applied to daily life has also brought great healing and transformation to many people.</p><p>Throughout his life Arthur Crowell, the author of <em>Finding Our Golden Ball</em>, has navigated multiple lifetimes worth of the human experience, and is now able to share this experience through storytelling. With his wealth of experience he has developed curricula that empowers others to claim the career they have always wanted, navigate life transitions with courage and confidence, heal old and fractured relationships, and have the inspiration to forge new relationships. "I see the world through the eyes of the ancient craft of storytelling. Through this vision I see a world that is in desperate need of returning to the wisdom that is found in these old tales." </p><p>More info at <a href="https://www.bark.com/en/us/company/sage-mountain-ministries/yb97R/">https://www.bark.com/en/us/company/sage-mountain-m...</a> and Hjroadmap.com</p>Senior Technology Workshophttp://isd2144.ce.eleyo.com/course/1853/fall-2023/senior-technology-workshop2023-05-26T00:00:00-05:00<p>Bring your device and join us to learn more about your smartphone, tablet or computer.
