Event Website: https://warehamlandtrust.org/winter-wonder/ Event Phone: 508-295-2343 Event Contact Email: jxsong@comcast.net What better way to spend the eve of Groundhog Day than with Jackson Gillman regaling us with A Mid-Winter Night's Dream?

Formation of Interfaith Story Circle Connecting Group
Link to Event: contact event organizer- Gert Johnson. grsjohnson@aol.com or call hjer at 518 374-0637 Event Website: interfaithstorycircle.org Event Phone: 518 374-0637 Event Contact Email: grsjohnson@aol.org AN INVITATION TO HELP BUILD INTERFAITH STORY CONNECTIONS Are you a storyteller looking to reach interfaith communities? Are you part of an interfaith group or looking to connect with interfaith organizations? Does your work touch members of various faith traditions? ( If so, see participation information at the end of this email) For decades, we at the Interfaith Story Circle of Albany/Schenectady/Troy, NY (interfaithstorycircle.org) and the Dutchess County Interfaith Council Story Circle (Dutchess County, NY in the nearby Hudson Valley) have gathered people in monthly story circles to share stories from their various faith traditions and personal lives. During the pandemic both our groups held story circles through Zoom to uplift people’s spirits and stay connected. On several occasions we combined forces and held joint story circles. There were times when we hosted guest tellers or circle participants from other states and even continents. We realize that connecting through Zoom offers us an amazing opportunity to reach beyond our local communities and create an online network of people building cultural and spiritual bridges through the power of story. We are partnering with ASST (Artists Standing Strong Together https://www.artistsstandingstrongtogether.net) and are seeking other organizations and individuals who wish to join us in creating such a network built on the power of story. To read our draft vision statement, please go to interfaithstorycircle.org and scroll down to the link in the 3rd paragraph of the home page. If you would like to hear more about our ideas and share yours, please join us for a conversation. We will be holding a Zoom session on Monday, January 23, 2023 from 7:30- 9.00 p.m. EST. To register for our January 23rd zoom conversation, please contact Gert Johnson. grsjohnson@aol.com (518)374-0637 Founder of Interfaith Story Circle (Capital Region of NY) interfaithstorycircle.org Co-Founder of Children at the Well Youth Storytellers childrenatthewell.org Current Co-Chair of IFSC, a program of With Our Voice https://www.WithOurVoice.org
