We’re more than likely to be fog-bound in June,
but summer comes anyway, and that longest day
is less than two weeks away.
So lets gather to celebrate the solstice with stories of
summer, the turning of the seasons, old tales and new
observances…. Or stories of fog, if you will.

Anytime after 6:30; stories start at 7:00.

All Welcome, to tell or to listen.

Beginner/ Intermediate Storytelling Workshop:

At the Root , It’s All about Connections

Sunday, June 13th 1:00 - 4:30 pm

Oral storytelling at its roots has been connecting people and helping to define culture for several thousand years. Storytelling develops connections unlike any other art form.

Find your connection whether it be world or cultural tales, personal or family stories, community or historical, fairy or folk tales. Learn a few basic skills that will connect with your storytelling style and help you find, choose, learn, develop, and tell, your story. Discover a few techniques that can help you connect with your listeners of any age and audience size.

This participatory workshop is for novice or intermediate tellers who wish to explore storytelling for use in literary, educational, or historical environments, or for community, casual or performance type events.

Eilean nan Òg
Eilean nan Òg (Island of Youth) is one of the most popular projects now organized by Comhairle na Gàidhlig. Hosted by the Highland Village Museum, this apprenticeship program gives youth the opportunity to learn Gaelic language and cultural skills, such as singing, storytelling and dancing, while introducing them to tradition-bearers from the local community. Coordinated by noted Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond, this year's program saw ten young people between the ages of fourteen and eighteen take part in the two-week paid program.
