There are stories and myths about the cosmos and how the world came to be in every culture and part of the world. Stories of sun gods, men in the moon, lunar goddesses and star maidens.

 
There’s an impressive list of creation myths here on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_creation_myths
And you may be able to find fuller versions of them online.
 
The constellations have names, some of which have stories behind them too. And you may remember some stories from childhood.
 
We always welcome new tellers, but we also need listeners, so come and join us for an evening of celebration of our amazing cosmos.
 
To book a slot to tell a story up to ten minutes long, please contact Davina: davina1605@icloud.com
 
If you’ve never told a story but would like to have go, here are some tips:
1. Please make sure you’re heard. Speak to the back row. (And if you’re in the audience and can’t hear, please wave.)
2. Make a list of bullet points of the main turning points in your story and memorise them, but not the exact words.
3. Include three or four sensory descriptions to bring it alive.
4. Practice your story several times, placing yourself physically in your story world and visualising where everything is as you tell it. This will help your listeners to “see” it too.
5. Time yourself. It’s fine to ad lib a line or two, but try not to lose the narrative drive by wandering too far off the main points.
6. Most of all, have fun! If you are, we will too.
