Through folk tales and personal stories, we will dive deeply into multiple experiences of kindness. What is it? How does it impact us and our relationships to ourselves, to each other, to the world? Come and listen to “kind stories” shared by both professional tellers and community members and see what memories of kindness emerge for you. Format: The story session opens with a concert of seasoned tellers and community tellers sharing stories with themes of kindness. During the second half of the gathering, audience members are invited to share a story, moment, or reflection about kindness that emerged for them as listeners. Purpose: We all need a little more kindness in our lives. Perhaps a story can take us there. ABOUT the STORYTELLERS DONALD DAVIS was born in a Southern Appalachian mountain world rich in stories.
