SHORTSTORY

LISL DENNIS OFFERS SHORTSTORY, TWO ONE-HOUR MULTIMEDIA INSPIRATIONAL TALKS THAT ARE EITHER STAND ALONE PRESENTATIONS OR COMPLIMENTARY TO THE
STORYSHARDS RETREAT PROGRAM. BOTH NARRATIVES ARE VIVID PICTURE WINDOWS ON ASPECTS OF AWARENESS DEDICATED TO KEEPING YOU AWAKE AND ENGAGED - AND CLARIFYING YOUR PURPOSE IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.

STORYLINES
HEROISM & COMPLEXITY IN PERSONAL STORY

A VIBRANT AND EVOCATIVE ONE-HOUR MULTIMEDIA
PRESENTATION, THE STORYLINES OF OUR LIVES ARE A COMPLEXITY OF MEMORIES, EMOTIONS, NARRATIVES, AND PASSAGES ON THE PATH TO MATURITY. A HERO'S JOURNEY OF UPS-AND-DOWNS, LISL DENNIS INTERWEAVES THE CURRENT CONVERSATION AROUND COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS AND JOSEPH CAMPBELL'S HERO MONO-MYTH.

LISL DENNIS REFLECTS UPON AND SHARES HER OWN STORYLINES IN FOUR PROGRESSIVE STAGES FROM CREATIVE ROBUSTNESS; THROUGH BREAKPOINT; AND POSITIVE DISINTEGRATION ON THE PATH TO PERSONAL
BREAKTHROUGH AND RESILIENCY. A JOURNEY COMMON TO MANY, THE TRANSFORMED AND ADAPTABLE MODERN HERO RETURNS TO TAKE A STAND IN SERVICE TO OUR COMPLEX WORLD WITH CLARITY OF PURPOSE.

THE DIG
ARCHAEOLOGY OF AWARENESS

A VIBRANT AND EVOCATIVE ONE-HOUR MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION, THE DIG TAKES YOU ON A REFLECTIVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION INTO THE CREATIVE
PROCESS THAT FORMS LISL DENNIS' WORLDWIDE PHOTO-CAREER. LISL SHARES HOW IMAGE MAKING - LIKE LIFE ITSELF - IS BORN OF MOMENT-TO-MOMENT IMPRESSIONS AND APPROPRIATE RESPONSES TO OUR CHALLENGING WORLD.

LISL DENNIS BRINGS THESE REFLECTIONS CURRENT - NOTING HOW HER POINTS-OF-VIEW HAVE EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS
INTO A PRACTICE-OF-AWARENESS - BEYOND PICTURE TAKING. THE DIG ENCOURAGES YOU TO DO A LITTLE SPADEWORK: TO CONSIDER YOUR OWN THEN-AND-NOW, AND TO TAKE A STAND
IN OUR WORLD BASED ON WHAT IS MOST POWERFULLY
PRESENT FOR YOU TODAY.

"YOUR STORY - BREATHE THROUGH IT AND LET IT GO!"
