Tales from Another Century
A Story Telling/Writing Workshop for People over 60
 
   Young people today have no clue of life before blackberries, HDTV, or a quick car trip to feast on fast food.  Party Line?  What's that, a dance for singles?  Ice man?  Pre-Neanderthal grunt?  The past has led to the future and who knows better than those over the half-century mark!  We gray-haired folks have stories to tell that reflect the path through the 20th to this 21st century.
   Tales from Another Century is designed to be a fun and celebratory experience.  This workshop encourages participants to search their lives for significant (and, perhaps, not so significant) moments that have contributed to their accrued wisdom about life.  For eons, stories have been the means of passing on wisdom from one generation to another.  Each and every one of us has a story to tell; to hand down to those who follow and to share with those who have traipsed the same calendar pages.
   Tales from Another Century is not so much about technique as it is about the stories themselves.  However, hints will be offered about subjects, predicates, pronouns, weighted verbs, and other such intricacies of composition.  Computer skills are not necessary; pencils and paper still work.  This workshop is designed for four two-hour sessions, but Sessions II and III can be combined. There will be homework.
   As workshop leader, Micki Smith, has experience as an oral and written story teller that spans many a decade.  Yes, she even sat on a stair step awaiting that ice man in hopes of getting a chip from the 50 lb. chunk slung in a wide, leather strap across his back.  Her favorite non-family stories involve history, theology, knitting (of course!), and anything fiber related.  Fees start at $100 a session and are negotiable to non-profit organizations.

Spiritually Oriented Workshops Tailored to Your Needs
 
 
Amy Beveridge and Micki Smith have filled their lives with creative activities.  Their work is deeply centered through the Spirit.  Between the two of them, they offer almost 50 years of experience designing and leading workshops encouraging participants to explore their connectedness to God through everyday life activities.  Workshops, whatever their focus, always include some kind of participatory creative experience through artistic endeavor.    Amy and Micki firmly believe that each and every person holds within themself a vision that can emerge through working with their hands and hearts.
 
Sheep of the Fold has a portfolio of various workshops ranging from "doll making as a means to get in touch with your inner self" to "Spirit of knitting" to "artful souls" to "finding God's Word in calligraphy". . .  Workshops can always be fashioned around specific needs and art forms and are offered to groups of all kinds.
