A story is, by nature, transformative. It has a beginning, it moves through an event or process, and it ends up in a different place than it began. Something has changed. Whether they are fact or fantasy, stories are a connective tissue between people and past and present. We will learn some hints of how to tell a good story. Whether it’s around a campfire, writing a memoir, talking to our children or reminiscing with old friends, when we tell a story, we say something about ourselves and creating connections with others. * Title: A quote from Muriel Rukeyser
