Anastasia"s Saturday Evening Storytelling Fire Circles To Move Indoors


 Next on our "new horizons" -- 

"Fireside" To Replace "Fire Circle" Storytelling

Begins Saturday evening, November 7, includes new online radio broadcast portion. Look for details.

11/11 Update: Now rescheduled to Saturday, November 14, due to Sue's husband's medical emergency and hospitalization last week into this . 

As November days grow shorter and the nights chillier, I (Anastasia) find myself needing to go indoors at sunset where almost no one will be able to join me for storytelling, much to my chagrin. At least nowhere near, for the coming months.  

Thanks to covid-19 and social distancing rules, I must now make my way -- alone -- or almost, at storytelling time. 

"But isn't storytelling a group activity?" you ask from your seat, wherever it is, possibly as a storyteller convert, new to recognizing this, sometimes, lost art, that has the potential for becoming a vehicle for healing the divisions facing us, at this time in our country.

So there it is: I must now come indoors -- leaving almost everyone else out. After all the New Horizons/Small "Zones Of Peace" (NH/ZOP) former GAME meeting area, spacious as it is, can't compete with our mountainside Forest Bathing Sanctuary and be safe for all.

But covid-19 is teaching me,  -- all of us -- to find new and creative options for being together while far away. So, following on the heels of saying good-by to Daylight Saving Time -- and -- sunset now being an hour earlier, I am going indoors to stay warm by my "fireside," leaving our "fire circle" outside where it lives. Maybe all the way until next spring. 

Darn! But we'll see.

Indoors or out, as wintery weather comes on, those of us, like me, who hate the cold will just have to see how it goes to be outdoors in the brrr cold, for a "new normal." 

In the meantime, come inside with me, while I, your fearless storyteller "tries" to take up the get-hardy-in-the-cold practice of the Scandinavians this winter and check out this fun read I wrote about ten years ago. 

If you let me know you like it, I might just want to get my Warrior Woman self, all bundled up, for a fire circle return before next ???? March ??? April??? 

We'll just have to see???

Find out how YOU can participate in next week's storytelling event, wherever you are.

P.S. Reservations generally close 48 hours before an event.
