Parables are the language of the soul. Every tradition understands the unique capacity for stories to convey feelings and virtues , in a way that is non-didactic, non-confronting, and yet marvellously effective, somehow bypassing the mind, and heading straight for the heart.
LIVING IN HARMONY - Stories For Life, for Kids and for Adults!
Donna Jacobs Sife is one of Australia's leading storytellers, a published writer and social activist, who has been telling stories in schools around Australia and the world for over a decade.
Increasingly, the theme of her multi-cultural performances has been that of non-violence, conflict resolution, overcoming fear of difference, welcoming the stranger, and developing the qualities that make for a noble character. She has been featured on ABC Radio National many times, on the Spirit of Things, Encounter, and Radio Eye, and in 1997 she received the National Storytelling Award at the one and only time such an award was offered at the Australian Storytelling Festival.
