Apprentices of the School of Sacred Storytelling
|
What is an Apprentice?
|
| Apprentices seek to develop their storytelling skills as they discover their own unique style of storytelling. The goal is personal enrichment, or professional development, or both. Apprentices enter a community of storytellers in a supportive setting with other apprentices and graduates of the School of Sacred Storytelling. They are personally mentored by Robert Bela Wilhelm, Th.D., the director of the School. Beside learning skills, the apprentices also explore the depth dimension and spirituality of stories. The community is ecumenical and interreligious, with a commitment to understanding, integrity, and compassion. |
