“The story is told
eye to eye,
mind to mind,
and heart to heart”

"She nourished
my soul."
– Robin Brown
Weigenka School

Truth used to run around the world naked. Everyone was frightened and avoided him. One day he saw someone dressed in beautiful robes, surrounded by friends. Truth wandered over and asked her name. “I am Story,” she replied, “and I could dress you.”
From that day on, Truth and Story traveled together.
– a Jewish tale

People have been telling stories to entertain, teach and inspire since before written history. Storytelling – the most ancient of language arts – is uniquely human, intrinsic to who we are, integral to our communication, and essential to the human experience. Imagine for a moment, life in this world without story...

Storytelling as art is an interactive performance art form – the most intimate form of theatre. Storytelling ignites process and much of its power resides in the co-creative relationship that develops between the storyteller and listeners. It is within that connection that magic can happen – in that story space we can imagine different worlds, different circumstances, different selves – and therein lies its transformative power. 

Storytelling can help us find our way home.
