With Carole
Forman

What is at the heart of a spiritual story?
What makes it move us, and what in us is moved? Why do we love stories
and why do we learn best through stories?  How does a spiritual story
answer questions of the heart – even those unexpressed.  On this
evening, Master Spiritual Storyteller Carole Forman will tell stories
from many religions and spiritual traditions and then we will together
explore what delights us, what ignites us, and why.  We too will tell
stories and then try on the telling of stories not our own.  Come to
ponder, participate, and play.  Bring your heart, your voice, and your
storytelling spirit.

Carole Forman is a Baal Misaper Ruchani, which in Hebrew means a Master
Spiritual Storyteller, a title she earned in the two-year Jewish Spirit
Maggid Training Program.  She was and continues to be an actor (on
Broadway once) and singer.  Carole has moved communities at synagogues,
churches, retreat centers, and theaters around the USA and Canada with
both Jewish and diversity programs.  She has been called “an absolute
master at her craft” (Jacqueline
Rose, Public Library, Lake Oswego, OR) who brings to her
listeners “the delight of vivid theater”  (Hassan Suhrawardi Gebel, Secretariat of the Sufi Order).
She created a full-length piece entitled “Between Heaven and Earth”
using stories and songs from different spiritual paths which was first
presented this March at Orchard House Cafe.  Recently, she played the
part of Miriam in a performance of “In the Voices of Our Mothers”
performed in a synagogue on Shabbat and a church on Sunday in Woodstock,
New York.

Carole is a long-time teacher of yoga and creative
movement.  She is a Guidess at Life
Works, Inc. and coaches storytelling privately and through the Maggid Training Program.
