Aloha! There is a ton of stuff here. No worries–most of it is just for additional reference. For the workshop, you’ll need to be a little familiar with Snow White, Maui Snaring the Sun, and the idea that stories have patterns. If you’re feeling comfortable with those topics, no need to read further. However, if you’d like to brush up, checkout the links under For the Workshop. If you’re curious and want to know more, there’s choke links under Other Resources. I should add that I do NOT have the rights to most of what’s linked. This is just for FYI. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at Lehua(at)LehuaParker.com
