    Sacred Storytelling

    4 pm - 6 pm EST Online Invitation - The Blossom Tree and personal memories. Honouring George Blake. Registration Link to follow. Free event. Artists Standing Strong Together "Artists Standing Strong Together (ASST, www.artistsstandingstrongtogether.net) offers 4 programs each month. On the 3rd Sunday of each month we present Sacred Storytelling, 4-6 pm ET/1-3 pm PT. This program has 3 purposes. 1) Presenting sacred stories. What is sacred? ASST believes that the concept of “sacred” is an individual decision based on experiences, beliefs, faith and history. 2) Honoring storytellers who are no longer with us in body, but remain in our hearts and ears. 3) Hear from a non-storyteller artist, allowing us to experience storytelling through a different genre and expanding our hearts and minds. Join us 3rd Sundays for a heart-refreshing afternoon/evening. "
