 | Rich Bolin is a preacher-storyteller who squeezes folktales and personal stories into his sermons as often as possible. He believes in the power of story to cross the boundaries of time, place and culture ... and he is looking for places to tell stories that don't fit into any of his sermons. | |
 | Noor Malika Chishti combined her love of books and children into a stint as a professional raconteur in the late 70's. Utilizing original art from a culture (e.g. Balinese shadow puppets), storytelling, and an art project, Noor Malika drew connections from different world cultures to the hearts of young and old in family-oriented offerings. Workshops at Barnsdall Junior Arts Center with special needs students gave Noor Malika some of her best stories and she will be sharing from these experiences. | |
 | Christy Engels came naturally to storytelling. She began publicly telling stories after she discovered The Ramayana, an epic story from Hindu scripture. Gripped by passion for the stories in the Ramayana, Christy began collecting stories from many spiritual traditions. Christy is an ordained minister and as the "Sacred Story, Sacred Song Ministry" she travels to churches and other venues telling stories and singing songs. Christy accompanies herself with the four-stringed tamboura, an Indian instrument that is plucked to produce a haunting drone. | |
