Using a traditional story, Clare will demonstrate the notion of threshold moments: times of insight, realisation, deepened consciousness and transformation for the heroine or hero. Participants will be encouraged to find resonances from the threshold moments in this traditional story, to threshold experiences in their personal lives, or in their communities, organisations or workplaces. We will examine ways to optimise our experience of threshold moments in our own stories, and enhance the possibilities of choice in our lives. We will also look at ways to mark thresholds as storytellers, to deepen the impact of our stories for our listeners.

Highlights:

• An opportunity to reflect on moments of transformation in traditional and personal stories in our own lives
• The chance to share stories of threshold moments in small groups
• To learn about the power of transformation and the opportunities within crisis and challenge

Learning:

Clare will share ideas to promote awareness of thresholds to encourage transformation in our personal, community and organisational lives. Participants will learn ways to use a traditional story to access personal stories for facilitators and educators as well as the methods to enhance traditional or personal storytelling through marking story thresholds creatively.
