[Dialogue] Making other world stories as well as conversations?

[Steve Har]

Seems like we could create new other world trek conversations and new other world trek stories  as well and push into the storyteller mode a little more like Mike May's Iron Man Trek stories and like Kaze Gadway's story telling at Mythos Institute. 

I've been re-reading some of the original stories written in the EG
environment in that wonderfully crazy old language. They are all  vignettes of OWIW Treks aimed at kids Very fun! It would be fun if we had a mini personal writing and sharing activity to aim at new and young leaders not EG using public  lingo.

The good news about the trek conversations that I remember: the  best ones were wonderful  sharing an discovery. I know John Epps wrote a new format about  1996  with modern public language. They are in the newly indexed Archives. I think he wrote them for LENS International. The less good news about Trek conversations: they were one  time events for  one small  very private group. 

The good news about May's EG Trek stories: they are actually written down and available. I saw some them indexed in the Archives as well. Some stories had splendid kids art to go with specific treks. The stories seemed more in a storytelling mode than in a pedagogical mode. Jay Zahrt wrote some new Trek stories - although I was shocked to find out that Jay has passed away. The less good news about the Iron Man Trek stories is that they are full of the old jargon and there is not much real world or autobiographical grounding that would illuminate real adult journeys. 

For next Tuesdays online collegium experiment I propose to work with Bruce Hanson &  try out new conversation format  and see if we can create some stories with a little more adult exposed and disciplined quality.
