The Dog & The Stick
Walton Stanley will tell The Dog & The Stick, a Blackfoot tale about a time in which someone has taken all of the food, all of the game in the world and held it for themselves. The people call upon their oldest ancestor, the trickster/creator, Old Man for help. Old Man and a young man from the people journey out into the world to find who has taken all the animals.
Walton Stanley is a writer and storyteller living in Minnesota, USA. Walton has held a life-long interest in myth, story, and in the transformative power of the paradigms and stories in which we live. He has been a storyteller at the Minnesota Men's Conference (founded by poet Robert Bly).

Multiple Intelligences
Ting- The Chinese character for listen, suggests a nuanced and empathetic way of communicating with others. Inspired by this teaching and research that proves that 90% of communication is non-verbal, Story Table sessions are grounded in the practice of listening with our eyes, ears, hands, feet and hearts.

The Story Table Foundation is committed to incorporating Multiple Intelligence Theory because studies show that comprehension is greatly improved when all learning styles are engaged. By actively working with their hands, asking questions and developing embodied cognition, each child is allowed to learn in a way that aligns with their strengths.
