Come, sit down, let me tell you a story.

I will tell you tales of old and of new. I will take you on journeys to places you have fond memories of, or to places you have never been. I will take you to old places filled with God and to young places filled with love. We will go to the places of laughter and tears.

When I have told you all my stories, I will sit quietly and listen to your stories. And when we are through, we will sit together, quiet, in that space between dark and dawn and listen as the earth breathes her stories into the silence.

Come, sit down, let me tell you a story.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A WRITER OR A STORYTELLER TO TELL YOUR STORY ALL YOU NEED IS A WILLINGNESS TO SHARE A BIT OF YOURSELF AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

When I was young I often begged my grandmother and grandfather to tell me the stories of how they lived and what they did. I wanted to know all about them and where they had been. I wanted to know about a time when things were easier or different. Now that I am a grandmother, I remember how important it is to pass on the stories. This class will help you write and tell your own story.

In this workshop we will explore the hows and whys of writing and telling your own story. You will be given the opportunity to ask questions and share your knowledge. You will have the opportunity to tell your story with the written or spoken word.

Workshop presented by Lauretta Phillips, Storyteller and Writer in cooperation with L.T.I.G foundation. A private foundation dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the traditional arts.

Also in cooperation with Taylor Community. To sign up for this workshop see your activity director.

Lauretta is creator, producer and host of "The Talking Stick", a radio program that promotes the oral traditions of storytelling at Colby-Sawyer College WSCS 90.9 FM

The Talking Stick has been on the air since February, 1996 when Colby-Sawyer College's first DJs threw the switch and sound floated out on air waves to the surrounding community.

Over the years, listeners have had the opportunity to hear stories and interviews from many featured New England Storytellers. The program has also featured many great tellers from around the world.

Every program is different and directed mostly toward adult and family audiences. Twice a year the program features Stories for Children and many young tellers are included.

"I listen to 'The Talking Stick' each week. Lauretta is a natural with her guests and makes the program fun and interesting. I especially like the stories she tells about the guys down at the mini mart"
