Biblical Storytelling 201 - Thoughts and Feelings

with Lori Ruge-Jones

 

In this workshop we'll explore some ways to get into the feelings in a sacred story, how to make choices about feelings, and how to express them within the script as we have it. We'll also learn how to do some background research to understand the story more deeply and how to incorporate it while maintaining the integrity of the narrative.

She is certified as a storyteller through the Network of Biblical Storytellers International, and earned a Doctorate of Ministry with a project focussing on biblical storytelling as spiritual practice.
