CALLING AFRIKAN / CARIBBEAN STORYTELLERS!

Once a month starting on Sun 8 June

Many of us neglect the importance of
“story” to nurture our spiritual strength, form our thoughts, paint our visions and focus the creative mind to achieve our goals. Chi Creation
Griots are a group of Afrikan/ Caribbean storytellers who wish to introduce the ancient oral tradition and develop storytelling to suit
and validate contemporary Afrikans/Caribbeans in the diaspora. We wish to take our stories and place them into an oral tradition we can pass down to the next generation.

We meet in the tent once month on a Sunday during the new moon. For more information email us.
