Summary: <a href="https://www.permiekids.com"></a> Basic needs: food, water, shelter… and storytelling? What if I were to propose that perhaps, just perhaps what we need most is a compelling story? If you want to spark curiosity, conversation and perhaps influence people to embrace particular values in their daily lives, tell a compelling story. It is through stories that natural relationships are revealed and shared and it is through stories that inspiration grows. If you enjoy this podcast and think to yourself, “Yeah, I’d be interested in buying Jen a cup of coffee while hanging out talking about issues like this,” consider <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/membership/" target="_blank">joining our community</a>. For about the price of a cup of coffee, you can become a member. Together we can change our consciousness about what it means to learn, educate, and be educated. It is then that we can co-create a new story together with our children that can transform the future. You have knowledge, skills, and experiences right now that are of value. If you have gifts and passions that you want to share through a <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/alternative-payment-policy-form/" target="_blank">work-share-learn</a> exchange, that is not only welcomed but encouraged. Together, we can network and support each other in our individual and community journeys. Become part of a community that seeks to use our greatest resource – education – to nourish life. In this show we cover: * Story of the sandwich * Of men and fruit flies? * 3 secrets of storytelling * Designing education from patterns down to details * Integrate rather segregate * Art, science and wisdom of storytelling in the learning landscape and beyond References and Additional Resources <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/2015/01/06/podcast-242-power-of-analogical-reasoning/" target="_blank">PERMIE KIDs Podcast 242 – Power of Analogical Reasoning</a> <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/2015/01/19/podcast-249-power-analogical-reasoning-development-part-2/" target="_blank">PERMIE KIDs Podcast 249 – Power of Analogical Reasoning Part 2</a> <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/2014/08/15/podcast-150-can-music-used-develop-connections-community/%E2%80%9D%20target=">PERMIE KIDs Podcast 150 – How Can Music be Used to Develop Connections with Community?</a> <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/2015/08/13/podcast-300-power-of-storytelling-vs-story-reading/%E2%80%9D%20target=">PERMIE KIDs Podcast 300 – Power of Storytelling vs. Story Reading</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/18/opinion/sunday/the-neuroscience-of-your-brain-on-fiction.html?adxnnl=1&pagewanted=all&adxnnlx=1354716276-vBCJNxgtIuIFGnU+PmkBpA&_r=1" target="_blank">Your Brain on Fiction</a> <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-secrets-of-storytelling/" target="_blank">Secrets of Storytelling</a> <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/this-is-your-brain-on-metaphors/" target="_blank">This is Your Brain on Metaphors</a> <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5965703/the-science-of-storytelling-why-telling-a-story-is-the-most-powerful-way-to-activate-our-brains?fb_action_ids=10152462397796853&fb_action_types=og.likes" target="_blank">The Science of Storytelling</a> Thank you spisharam for the featured image titled My garden in a droplet (CC-BY-SA 2.0) Edge Alliance Opportunities <a href="http://permacultureprinciples.com/principles/_11/?ref=1" target="_blank" rel="http://permacultureprinciples.com/principles/_11/?ref=1"></a> It is never too late to join our Edge Alliance discussions!
