Susi Wolf Small rsSusi Wolf SmallStories are the oldest form of communication there is. From the earliest gatherings and etchings on cave walls, stories explained a culture for those who later passed that way. There is both practical and transcendent power within the storytelling realm, which is explored in conversation. The program will include discussion and understanding of animal tales as they relate to various cultures, the importance of animal tales and their purpose, storytelling with various animal characters, and a Q&A to finish. This program's concentration is on animal and trickster stories from the U. S. Southwest, Mexico, the Cherokee, and Africa. Susi Wolf shares multiple tales, as well as, leads a discussion about oral tradition within these cultures, Cherokee traditions, and more.

Susi Wolf embraced storytelling over 20 years ago and uses it in every aspect of her life. In addition, she has a strong wildlife background (30 years working with exotic animals, including chimp behavior with Jane Goodall). Susi continues a rich career as a storyteller, workshop facilitator, certified life coach, intuitive hypnotherapist, energy medicine practitioner, published writer, and more. Yet, her greatest love will always be storytelling.

This presentation is made possible by the New Mexico Humanities Council, which is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Department of Cultural Affairs of the State of New Mexico. We thank them for this opportunity.

Come on down to the Silver City Annex, 302 W. Broadway, at noon on June 25th to hear these interesting animal stories. Bring your lunch and we will save a chair for you!
