Community ... There are many kinds of community. Here are a few bits and pieces that I have found personally illuminating. Storytelling Community The storytelling community is local and worldwide -- wherever you are, I guarantee you -- there will be a storyteller. For those of you in Southern California, here are a few recommendations for folks (& meetings) to connect with: Listing of some Southern California storytelling groups     West Los Angeles Community Storytellers meets on: the 2nd Thursday evening of each month Temple Beth Torah 11827 Venice Blvd. 7:30 pm   Pasadena San Gabriel Valley Storytellers meets on: the 3rd Tuesday evening of each month Hill Ave Branch Library 55 S Hill Ave 7:30 pm   Tujunga Verdugo Mountains Dreamshapers meets on: the 2nd Saturday evening of each month Sunland-Tujunga Library 7771 Foothill Blvd. 8:00 pm   Claremont Inland Valley Storytellers meets on: the 2nd Tuesday evening of each month Claremont Forum 536 West First Street 7:30 to 9:00 pm                 Resource Community   Awakening the Hidden Storyteller Here is one of the books I enjoy thoroughly. ISBN 0-87773-5999-9   Published in 1991 by Shambhala Publications; written by Robin Moore -- it's truly a wonder. Awakening the Hidden Storyteller Filled with experiential moments, "it's a guidebook to the landscape of the imagination." Before I knew anyone in the storytelling community, I knew this book.  And loved it. It speaks of some of "the storyteller's tool kit" -- inner tools (memory, imagination, and visualization); outer tools (voice, gesture, movement); moves into locating, selecting, and preparing story sources; and offers nuggets, nudgings and encouragements into using these skills from family-centered story activities outward. No matter how you want to participate in storytelling -- listening, telling, or everything inbetween ... try out this book.  Search out-of-print places, if necessary.  It's worth it.
