Storytelling reminds us all that the "child within" is nourished most deeply in community where our tales are told and heard, in an atmosphere of love and delight.

This is a growing, global phenomenon capturing attention and hearts round the world. The art, gift, and fun of Storytelling is an experience not to be missed!

Whether around your dining room table or in more formal Storytelling settings, “Telling” is a dance between listeners and tellers, both of equal importance. The secret: we are always both.

...there was a storyteller named Alaya...

She just loves to spin a tale. A Teller of 40 years experience and a published author of a book of her original fables, Alaya delights in reaching into hearts and minds with inspiration and laughter. This alive and vibrant Teller, who weaves the threads of her fables with the finesse of a maestro conducting a symphony, story time with Alaya is not to be missed. For more information about Alaya's storytelling, visit the National Storytelling Network.

Alaya is available for onsite telling for your school, church, and even in your business. For information on rates and arrangements, contact Alaya directly.

...who offered storytelling experiences for all...

Co-sponsored by Avalon and The (W)hole Point Institute, we invite you to join us as we share an enchanted evening of telling & listening, while enjoying the rejuvenating outdoors by the lake or sipping hot cocoa by the homey glow of Avalon's fires. All ages are welcome, and families are encouraged to come all tegether.

See our calendar for dates and times. Suggested donation: $15

NOTE: in the event of big snow, the event is cancelled. We'll see you at the next Storytelling evening.

Please RSVP, if possible, to Avalon at 603-895-3040. All last minute listeners are most welcome. Hope to see you there!

With great blessings,
Yvonne and Alaya
