Hello again wonderful viewers in internet land.
The NISA festival has come and gone and in my humble opinion was a smashing success. We had great attendance every night, and the storytellers were as amazing as we could have hoped for. I met many wonderful people this weekend and have made new friends that I hope to stay in contact with for a good while.
The NISA Advisory Council decided to institute more structure within its ranks and elected a chair and vice chair to give direction to the council. The role of the advisory council was fleshed out better so that the members now know what role they play for NISA as well as what role NISA plays within WISDOM. The Advisory Council elected three new members including a youth representative as well as Toby Joseph and myself.
Emerging storyteller workshops went fabulously. There was a lot of heartfelt sharing by all and many of the attendees found the inspiration to tell their story at the emerging storytellers matinee after expressing their own feelings of "being too shy" or "not being a storyteller."
The responses and feedback I heard from people at the festival has made all the chaos and stress of planning this festival worthwhile and I can't wait until next year!
