This gathering will connect storytellers with their deeper senses through a Diné (Navajo) framework of "bił nani'eeł," which can be understood in four phases connected to rain. As a community, we will think through various aspects of our tellings and what our telling practice/experience can teach us about being five-fingered earth surface beings (i.e. humans). In k'é (kinship), we will consider many questions like: what does it mean to listen? How does the natural world, and our more-than-human relatives, influence our telling practice/experience?

The class will be offered on a sliding scale, but if anyone would like to take the class and cannot afford to make payment at this time please reach out to Manny directly at manny.loley@du.edu.
