What was I doing in East Berlin with a truckload of watermelons?

When I first started storytelling (back in the stone ages), I was amazed at Sharing the Fire — the Northeast’s premier storytelling conference. It was wonderful, inspiring, encouraging and education. I still have some great friends from those days.
This year, STF is happening from Friday, March 23 through Sunday, March 25 in Plymouth, MA. I’m going to be giving a workshop called, “Getting Them To Listen” on Saturday at 1:30pm about how to communicate more powerfully.
If you’re a lover of storytelling, a storyteller, a listener, a teacher, a librarian, or just an ordinary person who’s curious, here are conference registration details: https://www.nestorytelling.org/conference-details/
Sharing the Fire has workshops, performances and swaps for every level. You’ll meet lots of people and hear tons of stories.
If you do come, make sure to say hi!
