SUMMARY:Maggidut: Becoming an Inspirational Storyteller
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.\nMaggidut is the art of inspirational\, spiritual storytelling. Maggid Jim Brulé will guide us on this spiritual and practical journey as we develop an understanding of how stories—when told with an open heart—can heal wounds\, inspire the spirit\, and transform lives. Drawing from his two-year curriculum for maggidut\, this class will integrate oral storytelling\, healing\, Jewish folklore\, and meditation in a highly interactive group process. \nTelling stories in this way requires openness and intentionality in all four worlds.

SUMMARY:Discovering Transformational Stories
DESCRIPTION:Some stories are well-suited to being told as “transformational stories” – stories that invite the audience to meaningfully change. Transformational stories can be the basis for healing rifts – whether within us or between us. However\, to be “transformational\,” it must be the right story\, at the right time\, for the right people\, and told with an open heart. \nIn this 90-minute class\, we will examine stories to discern what about them may allow them to become transformational. Stories will be provided for review\, but students will be expected to provide the “bones” of 1-2 stories they would like to submit to this examination. \nThis class is co-taught by Jim Brulé and Maja Bumberák. Jim is the founder of Transformational Storytelling\, and Maja is a renowned storyteller\, singer\, and educator based in Budapest\, Hungary. \nTheir biographies can be found here. \nA tool for analyzing stories in this manner will be taught and used in the course. \nThe standard course is $50; participants who register for the complete course ($75) will receive a recording of the class for one month of personal use\, as well as the handouts used in the class.
