Holiday Storytelling … Heads-up Seattle

JOIN THE SEATTLE STORYTELLING GUILD FOR AN EVENING WITH THREE GREAT TELLERS, including The Bardo Group Beguines’ steller storyteller, Naomi Baltuck

FOLLOWED BY FREE SNACKS AND AN OPEN MIC

Sharon Creedon was a trial attorney when she discovered the Seattle Storytellers Guild. She began collecting and telling stories, many of which are included in her books, In Full Bloom: Tales of Women In Their Prime and Fair Is Fair: World Folktales Of Justice, which received the National Aesop Award for folklore.

Naomi Baltuck and Beatrice Baltuck Garrard are an intrepid mother-daughter duo. When Naomi is not writing novels and Beatrice is not studying history at Stanford, they travel the world together, telling stories and fighting crime!

Pat Peterson tells her holiday stories with a twinkle and a smile – that’s not to say that a memory revealed might bring a tear to the eye or a tug at the heart. Pat will share some old favorties and something new…

    Dear Jamie,
    Thanks so much for sharing the news of this performance. It was really a wonderful event, well-attended, and heart-warming and thoughtful way to celebrate the season. I hope you had a good holiday. Wishing you all the best for the New Year!

  HI Peggy,
  There are lots of storytelling events happening in Seattle all the time, and certainly in March as well. Check out the Seattle Storytelling Guild websitefor their calendar of events. The guild also has a page on Facebook that will tell you what’s happening. Every month there are regularly scheduled performances and coffeehouse gatherings, with additional special events. On March 6th, for instance, the guild will sponsor a workshop by Portland storytellers Norm Brecke and Anne Rutherford, and I will be hosting a house concert by Anne Rutherford, who will tell her one-woman adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the guild or me (nbaltuck@earthlink.net).
  Happy tales!
  Naomi

“I want my friends to understand that “staying out of politics” or being “sick of politics” is privilege in action. Your privilege allows you to live a non-political existence. Your wealth, your race, your abilities or your gender allows you to live a life in which you likely will not be a target of bigotry, attacks, deportation, or genocide. You don’t want to get political, you don’t want to fight because your life and safety are not at stake.

“It is hard and exhausting to bring up issues of oppression (aka “get political”). The fighting is tiring. I get it. Self-care is essential. But if you find politics annoying and you just want everyone to be nice, please know that people are literally fighting for their lives and safety. You might not see it, but that’s what privilege does.” / Kristen Tea, motherwiselife.org

The BeZine fosters understanding through a shared love of the arts and humanities and all things spirited; seeks to make a contribution toward personal healing and deference for the diverse ways people try to make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of a world in which illness, violence, despair, loneliness and death are as prevalent as hope, friendship, reason and birth.

Resist …Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that [Humankind] are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

The BeZine’s Farewell

Stones occupy where my heart should feel light, heavy stones. After almost making it through ten years, The BeZine must now say, “good-bye.” Due to changes in the lives of our editorial team and some of our contributors; losses of our Founder, Jamie Dedes,and one of our guiding lights, Michael Rothenberg; and my own failing […]

Woman, Life, Freedom | Call for Poetry Submissions

Among many incidents, hundreds of girls in Iranian schools have been targets of chemical attacks. Increasing rates of executions have emboldened solidarity across entire families to continue the protests for gender equality and […]

When The Queen Came to Tea | John Anstie

A little boy in awe, aged six, perhaps more …or thereabouts, it matters little or less. Four years had passed since She had been proclaimed our Queen, our first coronation for a Queen Elizabeth in nearly four hundred years. So young. So pretty. So popular and pure. Around my age there was another little boy […]
