07-12-17 Sing Stories with Jeff Leinaweaver, Storyteller
Once, there was a way to sing the stories of our ancestors and honor the living inner worlds of our imaginations; a way of bringing wisdom, connectedness and engagement to the greater human tribe. These ways of telling story, particularly of the oral tradition, have offered breadcrumbs of paradox and a way to remember that storytelling is not just a form of communication – it’s auniquely human practice. ~Jeff Leinaweaver, Storyteller
