This event will benefit the Burke Arts Council and the Mimosa Garden Club. The mission of the Burke Arts Council is to enrich the quality of life in Burke County through  cultural and artistic activities.

The tour will also feature local artists in each garden painting vignettes of the gardens.  There will be five homes and two churches on this self-guided tour.  All of the homes and churches are on West Union or a block or two off.

Storytelling is easier than you think!  This workshop welcomes all - teachers, parents, librarians, ministers, storytellers, and those just curious. Connie generously shares tools she has developed and learned throughout her trailblazing storytelling career that spans 5 decades and 6 continents. 

With partner exercises and a ‘walk through memories’, you will enjoy exploring events of your life in a supportive, creative atmosphere. Utilizing ‘deep listening’, you will also experience how the 5 senses and the ‘colors’ of the moment bring a story to life and connect you with your listeners. Whether telling to family on the front porch, a gathering at a party or on a stage, you’ll get a taste of ‘art & heart’ of storytelling.

So join us if you are drawn to stories – both the telling and the listening.
