"Our stories matter. They have the power to connect us,
to inspire us, to transform us." — Brené Brown
All of us have an amazing story to tell. Yes, even YOU!
-
A beautiful moment from a well-lived life, filled with precious memories.
-
An insurmountable challenge (or several) you managed to overcome.
-
A unique event that might be inspiring to others.
-
A hilarious or unbelievable moment that changed everything for you.
-
A unique aspect of your ancestry and how you came to be here today.
A few words from Eli, one of your guides through this adventure:
"Writing and performing my award-winning, mostly solo show Out of The Blue – about my miraculous cancer healing journey - has been the highlight of my creative life, so far.
The process of developing and finally sharing my story with appreciative and receptive audiences internationally, has been beyond my wildest imaginings. (Being nominated in 6 categories by Broadway World L.A. and winning the Encore Producers' Award at The Hollywood Fringe festival wasn't bad either!)
The experience has been so fulfilling and all-encompassing that I’m feeling called to facilitate storytelling workshops from the vantage point of using theatre as a vehicle of personal transformation."
We hope you'll join us on Saturday, July 8, 2023 in this exciting PlayShop!
