First, I must give much credit to Stephanie West Allen who frequently posts to the Working Stories group with her monitorings of storytelling in the blogosphere.
And I must also acknowledge that my blog is not exactly timely when it comes to referencing Stephanie’s sightings — or anyone else’s. I tend to blog in spurts, so my outcome is comprehensiveness and intertextuality rather than timeliness.
Having offered those disclaimers, I reference one of Stephanie’s postings about a conference from fall 2006:
The conferees, Bioneers (who apparently seek “to bring biological pioneers together to restore the Earth”), offered workshops focusing on stories, such as “When Stories Change, the World Changes,” “Women Telling Our Stories and Promoting Justice,” and “Change the Story: New Strategies for Shifting Culture.”
From Energy Bulletin:
We are made of stories. Stories contain power. People don’t just tell stories. Stories tell us who we are and how to live.
