Despite the Sunny Weather....

"What an intense three days! But somehow arriving back at my desk this morning - I feel like I've been on vacation.
It was SO nice to have those days to be creative." Workshop participant.

On a rare, three consecutive days of sun last week, we hunkered down with a super group of new storytellers. As part of the Seattle dStory Collaborative's first ever public workshop for local non-profits, we helped reps from Sea Mar, The Center for Health Training, and the Children's Home Society create short multimedia stories. We thought participants might choose to tell stories directly related to their workplace; instead all chose to focus on personal issues with the goal of helping their clients or patients create their own stories down the road. Everyone brought their own laptops and free software, in order to make it accessible for future work. While this was the first dStory Collaborative workshop, we're thinking it won't be the last.
