Storytelling is the intentional use of narrative to convey a bit of truth, and to share wisdom and insight. It has long been used to create meaning and understanding between people and cultures, to impart knowledge and values, to shape memory, and to communicate traditional and folkloric beliefs. Storytelling is a tool for deepening relationships with the natural world, connecting us to the rhythms of nature, reminding us of our interconnectedness with all living things, and helping to reestablish our ties to the off-line world.
