16 May
A half day workshop  to strengthen the fabric of South African Society - possibly on the fringe at Franschhoek during the Literary Festival. Put the date in your diary…. more info next month…. get the rolling effect going.

Kirsten Pearson (Symphonia) 82 936 1898 21 913 3507

Last year Dorian facilitated the event Symphonia hosted. Carol Scrooby who attended writes:

"I ran a workshop with women in Klapmuts who have started a community
market initiative. I used what I learnt from your workshop… The women opened up to their own stories. We ended with each one making a collage of the story they are creating for the market and their lives. Powerful and healing... I listened to your cd (Tortoise Stories) a couple of times before the day and then on the way there to.  It was like I was chanelling the story tellers of all the ages."
