  • STF-Sharing the Fire 2025

    Conference Information Page: https://www.nestorytelling.org/stf-sharing-the-fire-2025/ Dynamic Listening Paths into Deeper Connections and More Powerful Stories Listening is a dynamic mix of paying attention, clarifying, and reflecting. As storytellers, we often focus on speaking, but our listening skills are equally fundamental. To be effective storytellers, we must be effective listeners. We listen to the small voices within and the big voices without to better grasp which stories best serve a particular audience or occasion. Listening is essential for authenticity in ourselves and in our stories. We invite you to come explore and expand your listening and storytelling skills. Whether you are a storyteller, librarian, counselor, clergy, teacher, social worker, police officer, or a story lover, this year’s Sharing the Fire Conference has something for you! Featuring Keynote Presenter Elizabeth Ellis & Featured Performer Vijai Nathan   Pre-conference events begin in the evening on Thursday, March 27

  • Jackson Gillman / A Mid-Winter Night’s Dream

    Event Website: https://theshepherdcenter.org/jackson-gillman/ Event Phone: 508-894-7437 Event Contact Email: jxsong@comcast.net What better way to celebrate Groundhog Day than with a storytelling performance of "A Mid-Winter Night’s Dream” by Stand-up Chameleon Jackson Gillman? Early in his performance career, Jackson was dubbed a chameleon for his penchant to change into many different characters while entertaining audiences of all ages. During this wintry fantasy, one of those characters will be an adventurous groundhog named Dreyfus. This will lead the audience to wonder whether — is it a groundhog or Jackson who leaves his den to go on a snowy walkabout, track an otter, go airborne after an exhilarating slide, plunge into icy water, somehow survive hypothermia and dance under the Northern Lights with an angel? Jackson swears that much of these winter adventures are true-life. This warm-hearted story will surely be a wild ride, and intriguing fun trying to divine fact from fiction. This fanciful escapade is geared for adults but older children can easily follow and enjoy the story as well, so families are welcome.
