Master storytellers Paula Davidoff will lead the New Brunswick Institute and Ellen Musikant and Luray Gross will lead the Moorestown institute.

“The workshop was not about learning to tell a story. It was a voyage of discovery—exploring and understanding who you are...and through understanding and allowing a story to be told through you. The workshop touches your spirit—it brings poetry to your soul.”
- Dot Kohrherr, Teacher, South Brunswick
