FOUNDER & FACILITATOR
THE HEART OF THE WORK
FOUR DIRECTIONS.
ONE MOVEMENT TOWARD CONNECTION.
Down — Restorative — Presence
Develop authentic presence and the physical, felt experience of connection with the listener.
Up — Intuitive — Content
Learn to access imagery, insight, meaning, and the deeper content from which stories emerge
You do not need to master all four at once. The Foundation Course helps you understand the system and discover your own way into the work.
Forward — Collaborative — Action
Use storytelling authentically with other people to teach, lead, work together, and create change.
Back — Dimensional — Form
Understand the deeper reality beneath what is happening and how stories shape the way we experience the world.
Take your storytelling to the next level.
