Story Table Events in the Shanty!
As a non-violent response to the events unfolding in Minneapolis, I'm scheduling a special series of Story Table events that feature tales that have strong cultural values and help bring people together in a good way. (These events are in addition to the Art Shanty Projects that run from 10-4 during the next two weekends.)
In-Person Sessions at the Lake Harriet Shanty
A story about solidarity and non-violence.
Saturday, January 31 @ 5:30pm
Sunday, February 1 @ 5:30pm
A story about speaking up.
Saturday, February 7 @ 5:30pm
Sunday February 8 @ 5:30pm
Online Sessions (not in the Shanty)
Friday, January 30 @ 5:00 Central (23:00 GMT)
Tuesday, February 10, @ 5:00 Central (23:00 GMT)
Shanty notes: Come dressed for the cold, but anticipate it being comfortably warm. There is a fireplace and tea will be provided. The shanty is a five minute walk away from the Lake Harriet Bandshell parking lot. Registration is not required for in-person events, but donations are gratefully accepted.
Nicholas Pawlowski is a storyteller and educator who founded the Story Table Foundation, a non-profit that promotes mental and emotional wellbeing through interactive storytelling. Because he believes that our actions are linked to the stories we tell, he facilitates interactive storytelling experiences that explore values like compassion, kindness, thankfulness and cooperation. Nicholas has traveled extensively through Europe an the US to research his stories and uses both in-person and zoom events to engage families from around the world!
See you 'round the Table!

Listening
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.
Multiple Intelligences
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.
