Talking Stick

[Don Ferretti]

I have been using a rain stick for a stick talking stick. Its even effective in letting people know the closing is starting. Just standing there tipping it back and forth a few times has been enough. It is fun to introduce the rain stick and its origin. Then introduce the talking stick ceremony. I've used one particular rain stick for several different events. The stick is taking on some meaning in its own right. Very cool to think of all the hands that have passed it around the circle.............../Don Ferretti
