Yarns and yarning
We look forward to coming together for our Study Group # 4 where we will continue our exploration of Tyson Yunkaporta’s Sand Talk.
This week we invite us-two into yarning about yarning.
Without yarning, stories are just something to put children to sleep. There has to be an exchange of stories if you want to be awake and grown.

What is yarning?
How do we do it?
How is it different to a conversation?
Can we yarn with Country?
Is Country yarning with us?
Are we listening?
We encourage you to read/re-read pages 129 – 133 of Sand Talk.
Yarns and yarning can be more than tools to enhance memory and engagement. They can be a disruptive innovation that is empowering and liberating when transferred to contemporary media.

This Sand Talk Study Group is a place for yarning. Yarning is the natural-feeling way to discover and affirm the intimacy of “us-two”. By speaking openly, honestly and from the heart, we reveal each other and ourselves to each other and open the Way. There is no “me” without “you” in any good yarn, just the life of “us-two”.
