Subject: New story from Fran Stallings on the Healing Story Alliance web


site

Hi Everyone - Fran Stallings wrote such a nice announcement to Storytell
about her story that has just been posted on the Healing Story Alliance web
site, that I thought I could not improve upon this - so, in Fran's words,
here's the latest story we have to offer you all...
Allison Cox

Wise ones,
Mark Bassett has just posted a new story for discussion and informal
retellings on the Forum page of the Healing Story Alliance website
http://www.healingstory.org/.

It's "Shingebiss and the North Wind," which I have mentioned occasionally
on Storytell. It is one of the most powerful stories I know for eliciting
the "storylistening trance". Although I usually perform it with
accompaniment (and Mark added an MP3 file of the chant!!), it is also very
soothing when told plain.

Whether you're snowed in or not, you might like to take a look at the nice
job Mark did with this website. In addition to this month's story, there
is intro/essay material about it, and a place to add your comments to an
ongoing discussion.

Stay warm,
Fran
where snow is actually falling in Oklahoma. This afternoon I told
Shingebiss to a group of frantically excited kids who couldn't wait to get
out of school to play in that snow -- just like on the day I first tried
telling the story outside our family.
