Invitation for Storytellers

Porter Medical Center's Palliative Care Department End of Life Services is seeking storytellers for their upcoming storytelling event which will take place on the evening of Saturday, October 29, in Middlebury. This year's theme is Stories from the Heart: Honoring Spirits Who Have Left This World. Do you have a story to tell about a personal experience of loss and grief, of someone who has left this world, and your own healing? Each story will be no more than 7 minutes in length, a personal and true story told from the heart (rather than read), and include how this experience changed or deepened your life. Five stories will be selected and those storytellers will be coached to help them prepare to tell their stories before an audience.

Interested storytellers should submit a written draft, or a well-developed outline, or reach out with questions, to Priscilla Baker at prbaker223@gmail.com
