STORYTELLING CIRCLE Notes from Talk with Mikey Williams, Scuttlebutt (co-coordinator of Story Circle with Mix Irving)

1. Create a room with soft lighting
2. create a focal point-- an empty seat;
3. Circle of seats around that.
4. Invite everyone in.
5. Facilitator in the middle. Calm.
6. Heart Sharing circle-- invitation: we're each going to get an opportunity to speak. Not a conversation. It's a one directional broadcast. One story per person. (a couple of minutes each is perfect).
7. History of the practice: New Zealand story circles for centuries
8. Prompt: positive topic or frame
9. Have someone experienced go first and second
10. If you are sitting listening and feel your heart pumping-- that's probably time for you to take the chair and speak.
11. Can only come or leave between stories
12. Go 1.5 to 2 hours. Warning before close.

NEEDS:

1. Quiet space; maybe cushions on the floor;
2. Lights or candles; accent lighting
3. Can be in a rectangular room.
