Quantum Storytelling Annual Review: Volume 9

ISBN: 9781675581353








QUANTUM STORYTELLING ANNUAL REVIEW

Quantum Storytelling Annual Review addresses entanglement of storytelling with whole systems at quantum scale of particle/wave and at the macro scale of capitalism, global warming, and socioeconomics. Quantum Storytelling means we are all connected at nanoparticle and energy wave level. All things, all creatures are composed of quantum energy. Your cellphone, your computer, the GPS in your car, the MRI machine are all marvels of quantum physics. We take all things are interconnected as the basis of a whole systems storytelling approach to 'storytelling science.'



REMEMBER: we encourage CREATIVE sessions with more conversation than presentation!

Past sessions have incorporated painting, collage, photography, theater, dance, and music, in telling our stories.
