Story Circles

A monthly conversation circle sharing our stories. Some months may begin with a theme or prompt, such as “How I Came to Greenfield” and others may be simply “What Would You Like To Share?” We will begin with the model of using a talking stone or stick or other object: the person speaking holds the object for as long as they want to speak, then passes it on. Others do not interrupt, cross-talk, or ask questions, but simply listen. At the end of the hour, there’s a simple debrief that again does not involve cross talk but each person offering a closing thought. The structure may be adjusted over time depending on the interests of the participants.
