5th Sacred Storytelling Festival
Date/Time: Sunday, September 13, 2020, 11:00am-2:00pm MDT / 1:00pm-4:00pm EDT
Sacred can mean so many things and so we invite many voices to meet and share the “sacred” space within each of us. Sacred Stories are stories that inspire us, remind us we are not alone, and connect us in our universality of emotion and experience. They are stories that inspire, cause healing laughter, reviving tears and give us the motivation to act for peace, unity and
justice. We will have live and pre-recorded stories. Our pre-recorded stories will be from those storytellers who are no longer with us in body, but their voice lives on in our hearts and hearts. This program we will honor nationally recognized bridge-builder Cathryn.
Story Artists include: Milbre Burch (NC), David Thompson (TX), Kathy Culmer (TX), Eric Miller (India), Margaret Myers (MN), Lucinda deLorimier (NM), and others
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

FEAST - Cultural Appropriation Panel Discussion
Date/Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2020, 5:30am-7:00am MDT / 7:30pm-9:00pm Singapore Time
Panel Members :
Hears Crow (USA), Norman Perrin (Canada), Richard Dian
Vilar (Philippines), Jo Henwood and Lilli Rodrigues-Pang (both from Australia).

Cost: Members - FREE, Non Members - $10, Register at: www.feast-story.org/event-3951576
Most of us, at some point, tell stories from cultures other than our own. Despite social distancing, the world is becoming smaller – our swaps for example, regularly have attendees from Canada, UK, Russia, southern Europe, Turkey and elsewhere. We are
becoming more aware of how the history and culture of indigenous, or first nation people, as well as ethnic minorities, has often been stolen, suppressed or misrepresented by colonisers, majority governments, or writers who interpret these rich cultural stories through the prism of their own culture.
Through this discussion we hope to shed light on some of the key issues, why it can prove upsetting, and most importantly, to offer steps that you can take to treat stories from other cultures with respect, thereby reducing the risk of unintentional offence,
while demonstrating to your audience the importance of another culture.
