“...when we begin to tell stories, our imagination begins to flow out through our eyes and our ears to inhabit the breathing earth once again. Suddenly, the trees along the street are looking at us, and the clouds crouch low over the city as though they are trying to hatch something wondrous. We find ourselves back inside the same world that the squirrels and the spiders inhabit, along with the deer stealthily munching the last plants in our garden, and the wild geese honking overhead as they flap south for the winter. Linear time falls away, and we find ourselves held, once again, in the vast cycles of the cosmos -- the round dance of the seasons, the sun climbing out of the ground each morning and slipping down into the earth every evening, the opening and closing of the lunar eye whose full gaze attracts the tidal waters within and all around us.” David Abram

the North Coast Storytellers are committed to working together to support, promote, and perpetuate the art, craft and values of storytelling through education and performance.

North Coast Storytellers grieve the passing of Founder Dan O’Gara on January 7, who shared stories with audiences all over the North Coast for the past few decades. Dan O’Gara not only touched the lives of countless children with his interactive stories but truly educated and entertained audiences of all ages with stories ranging from local history to Irish traditionals as well as stories he discovered on his travels across the continent. He was an immediately engaging personality and loyal friend to all who knew him and particularly for those of us who dare to follow in his footsteps. A memorial is planned for July 2, 2013 at the Trinidad Town Hall.

Heartfelt condolences to Dan’s family and the warmest possible Thanks to Dan, we love you!!
