KEYNOTE SPEAKER - VALERIE TUTSON

Valerie Tutson graduated from Brown University with a Masters Degree in Theatre Arts and a degree in a self-designed major, Storytelling As A Communications Art.  Valerie has been telling stories in schools, churches, libraries, festivals, and conferences since 1991.  She draws her stories from around the world with an emphasis on African traditions.

Valerie will model for Persons in Ministry Retreat participants how to take a common Biblical narrative and transform it into voyage that is refreshing, enthusiastic, and intriguing for any context.  Break-out circles will provide opportunity for all to intersect our stories with The Story.
