We Speak. We Listen. We Receive: A Space of Practice

Storytelling in song, word, poetry, ritual, and chamber music.

hosted by Spiritus Novus and the Lutheran Center of St. Olaf College

A Space of Practice.

Gathering in a circle, we invited a number of storytellers to offer a moment into the space. There was no prompt, no script, no prescription. The intention was to create a ritual practice of speaking, listening, and receiving, where every person in the room was a part of the circle. The space invited people into a safe and vulnerable openness where we could share life with one another.
