Abundance 6/21
I hope you’ll join me for the next online solo playback performance, please note the afternoon time:
Friday, June 21st 3-4:15pm ET
Our theme is “Abundance” in honor of the strawberry full moon on the summer solstice June 21st. According to the Farmers’ Almanac: “This “Strawberry Moon” name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. The Haida term Berries Ripen Moon reflects this as well. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many.” [Source]
I love honoring true stories through playback, and clearly others enjoy the experience too! Here are some of the audience’s words coming off of my most recent online solo performance:
“You create living paintings. 😌”
“Thank you Erin and all. Incredible!”
“What is amazing is how a personal story from a complete stranger is transformed into fable, a universal story, in which I find myself. My mind is blown.”
“Very moved. Felt very connected to the other tellers and resonant with the playbacks. Bravo!”
“I came into the experience feeling generally uncomfortable from a tough day and I was amazed how over just a few minutes I felt that all melt away was able to be present. Great job Erin! Really special!”
“Your Playback resonating with the unspoken of the shared story was very striking and an inner awakening, like healing, for me. I was opened to personal healing and insight because of your competency and intuition imbued through the stories of emergences. The vibrancy and softness, surprises at the screen, and truth telling was entertaining so as to be therapeutic / counseling for me. Your openness and clear leadership of the process was vital in this. It makes me feel cared for as an audience participant. What a privilege to share my own responses with the participants. To be empathetic. I loved your use of symbols (more than just props!) Thank you. You are generous and expert in your acting/ inspired story telling. A healer.”
What to prepare for:

Plan on keeping your video ON and participating at times in 1-1 breakout sessions.
