Telling
I was a storylistener ... Time happened and I became a collector, a harvester of stories … Time happened again and I discovered that I am a storyteller. Stories travel in great circles from every where and every time and so I remain a listener and collector of stories. There are stories just waiting to be told and to be heard. I have a growing collection of folk and original stories that have come to me as gifts from many different places and times and people.
I have one recording, "Absolutely True Stories, Some Of Which May Actually Have Happened," which was recorded live at a coffeehouse performance.
Worskhops
Everyone has a story...or maybe more... waiting to be to be told and waiting to be heard. I lead highly participatory and interactive storytelling workshops that are fun and can vary in length from 2 hours to several sessions over a weekend. Workshop topics include:
~ Making the Story your own
~ Family Stories
~ Dancing Your Story
~ The Sacredness of Story
~ Presentation and Performance
~ Story Swap
Motivational Speaking
I am available to deliver thought provoking and inspirational messages for worship services or other special gatherings. I am willing and able to prepare messages on topics or themes of your choice.
