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.
