Modeling ourselves after a storytelling project launched by the US Department of Arts and Culture, we invite the TIG community to take part in a story circle. Story circles are often understood to derive from indigenous traditions, and take many forms. Come share a story, five minutes or less, evoking this time in our lives:

Rabbi Andrea has experienced unexplained phenomena since the age of 14, when a Ouija board message saved the life of a family member.
