The Art of Storytelling with Children podcast was begun by Brother Wolf in the spring 2007 as a way to support the art form of storytelling world-wide. Every week he interviews a new storyteller on the podcast. Each guest covers a different aspect of the art of storytelling with children. The interviews are conducted in a conference call format in which anyone is welcome to participate on the call. You are welcome to join a storytelling call or just listen online, use iTunes, or your podcasting software. If you like what you hear, write a comment on the related post on the blog. It really fuels the guests and the host.
I awaken compassion for students with learning disabilities in themselves and those around them. By telling stories of how I struggled with my dyslexia, I help students with learning disabilities laugh at their own problems, and I inspire the other students to empathize with those who struggle to learn in a school setting.
I demonstrate to them through storytelling that being in school is worth the hard work. I set a good example; despite my dyslexia, I graduated with a Masters of Science in Education from Lesley University in Boston. The positive influence on students of meeting someone who had similar problems and succeeded cannot be underestimated, nor can the morale-building effect on staff when they meet an adult who was helped by their profession.http://www.dyslexicstoryteller.com/
Storytellers used to tell fairytales that mattered to children. We live in a world of deep despair and high hope. We live in a world of horror and happiness. We live in a world where monsters and angels walk the earth. It is wrong to tell children stories of sugar and spice that rot their morals and their brains. It is wrong to create stories that have no teachings. True fairytales run a risk. True fairytales speak of Danger with a capitol D. Storytelling of fairytales help us to learn the roadmap outside our families. Map that once included an entire community of people and storytellers who we would have known from birth.
I help children and their parents reconnect with the natural world. I lead them on magical adventures through the fields and woods of the Miami Valley.
I live in a world filled with magic and wonder. I live in a world where a rich internal life is as important as a generous community life and your relationship to the natural world. I live in a world where culture creates positive outcomes and my willingness to be mature defines my relationships.
If our children are to live in a world like, this they must spend time in the woods. Not walking through, not separate, but apart of the wonder that is this world -hopefully covered in dirt, sticks and leaves. I walk in the woods and I see what is dangerous and what is friendly. I see how our hands can be filled with gifts or held by beauty. I hear the secrets of the woodpecker and the coyote. Let me lend my eyes and ears to your children, let me walk with them through the woods of the Miami Valley.
I am located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. I serve the residents of Montgomery, Miami, Warren and Greene Counties in south-western Ohio and Dayton area. Perhaps you think you know something about the woods, take my free test - Are you comfortable getting Lost in the woods?
Look in our primitive culture the one who brings home the bacon gets to eat another day. So if you are impressed with all of the various works and projects I have taken on in building my commuity of storytellers and listeners, earth listeners and walkers and balanced loving human beings - buy a CD it pays my bills and supports your love of stories!
Currently, I have fairytales, talltales peace tales and scary tales for sale in my store and since you have bothered to read to the end of this tiny font filled paragraph, I can tell you must be pretty interested in buying a CD so click the cover of the above CD to go to the store.
