THE POWER OF PERSONAL STORYTELLING

Express your natural creativity in a safe, supportive small group

Experience the healing power of telling your stories and really being heard

Explore the wide range of your stories, or

Craft a story for pleasure, presentation or performance

Enjoy the warmth of shared community

We bring our experience as performers and storytelling coaches to these playful, powerful programs as we guide you to tap into your wealth of stories and show you how to share them with ease.

Each group includes participants with a range of experience - from beginners with stage fright to professional performers and storytellers, and we prefer it that way.

And don't worry about bringing a polished story. Some people come with ideas about what they might tell, and others just show up with an open heart and see what arises in the moment. Some tell and re-tell the same story, and others find a fresh story each turn.
