| Randi Moe
(360) 352-7838
rmoe2000@comcast.net | Randi Moe has been a life-long teller of family stories. During the 20 years that she worked in adult education, she used stories to illustrate her instruction. Then in 2002 she discovered the ART of storytelling.
Randi’s bag of stories is varied: traditional folk tales, funny family pet stories, memories of her own youth, vacation adventures, glimpses into her ancestors’ lives, and Bible stories (both reverent and irreverent).
She believes that sharing personal stories is a wonderful way to affirm and celebrate the ups and downs of everyday life, both for the teller and the listener.
Currently Randi is working with storytelling at an adult day program for seniors with disabilities, including Alzheimer’s disease. She leads the seniors in remembering their rich life experiences through general reminiscing, writing individual and group memoirs, and using TimeSlips techniques. |
