People connecting and healing through stories.

I’ve seen it time and time again: People going from feeling powerless, lost, resentful and overwhelmed to feeling confident, free, courageous and at peace – all through the process of safe and purposeful story telling.

This is why I invest my time and heart into this work and want to share it with others.

By infusing the storytelling project facilitation process with Story Seeker™ foundations you can experience walking alongside people in all walks of life as they explore, articulate and share their stories.

These stories may be in the form of written word, imagery, music and/or video but what they all have in common is the Story Seeker™ process.

Previous participants have included team leaders, national policy managers and communications managers from state government departments, national peak bodies and local not for profits.  Individuals interested in collecting stories for personal projects have also enjoyed the training.
