Creating an Atmosphere of Wisdom
By Diane Wyzga1
Being homo narans: a storyteller
The Inuit word for ‘storyteller’ is: "Person who creates the atmosphere where wisdom reveals itself."
In 1994 I found a book of best-loved stories told at the 20th Jonesborough, Tennessee, story festival. I read a story. I said, “I can do this!” At the time I had no clue how I would use storytelling; I only knew I was a storyteller.
Storytelling is a natural, instinctual process. We are wired to grasp narrative. We believe what we understand. We understand stories that mimic our life experiences, our world views. We intuitively use narrative to explain and define universal concepts and unique experiences. From birth on, stories engage our imagination, focus our attention on behaviors, help us understand those behaviors, and make sense of our world experiences.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to acknowledge the masterpiece that Kim and Michael and their team of cohorts have created. There is that special storyteller who can capture an audience and take us on their journey, but when you add the wisdom of the visionary, the story becomes global in scope.
Kim’s vision has captured the collaborative movement to this moment, with a clear strategy to continue to evolve into the future. She has honored the past and given us a glimpse into a possible future.
She has brought us to a point of choice.
