Stone Soup Storytellers Retreat

You are invited to the 5th Annual Stone Soup Storytellers Retreat at Camp Ocean Pines, in Cambria, CA on September 28-October 1, 2007! Set in the pines overlooking the ocean, this is a beautiful setting for professionals to relax and learn from each other. What better incentive to develop new tales and expand your repertoire than to share with other tellers. Of course we’ll have good food, good drink, and good company to enjoy.

· Very informal and unstructured

· Relaxing -- no pressure

· Telling among ourselves

· Learning from other tellers

· "Stories 'Round The Fire" at Cayucos Beach with Kirk Henning

· Beautiful location and very good food

· Nice cabins with bathrooms!

Kirk Henning (www.kirkhenning.com), storyteller from Cayucos, will help us design the agenda. We will discuss topics of our choosing, sharing ideas and experiences with all the storytellers! As a bonus treat, we’ll reserve some time to swap stories around a MICROPHONE – going home with the “live CD” collection of a pleasant evening of shared stories. Upon request of last year’s group, our next bonus treat is a public storytelling event at the beach led by Kirk Henning.

Camp Ocean Pines loves to support storytellers in honing their time-honored craft. Three nights lodging, 8 meals, and lots of storytelling for $235/person. For those who are not able to stay over for Monday, the cost is $195 for two nights lodging, 5 meals. Call 805-927-0254 to register or sign up online at www.campoceanpines.org. We hope you can come and bring a friend!

Sincerely,

Chris Cameron, Executive Director
