- Deep Sea Dive -

9 sessions 3(ish) month mentorship:

This is a deep dive into your relationship with stories & and the craft of storytelling....as a teller, writer, creative, performer, etc. In our first session we’ll explore what you are looking to explore, intend and do. This experience is tailored to what you want to experience, explore and become through the lens of storytelling. If you’re not sure what you want – we will explore that and I can guide you to a place of greater clarity.

What this could look like:

Deepen and transform your relationship with stories (including your own) and storytelling.
Developing tools to become more embodied, present and focused to do this work.
Exploring Orality.
Becoming more Mythically Awake to your life and the living world around you.
Grow in your voice as; a storycarrier & teller, and your ability to tell stories with others privately or publicly.
Begin the process of un-colonizing your imagination and explore the vast, wild imaginarium of your heart-mind as fecund soil.
Cultivating majestic language and the art of aesthetic arrest.
Engaging and exploring a story (and re-story) from your life, a favorite folktale and/or a big myth.

Cost: Money is energy, and it is for better (and) worse the essential currency for most of us here in the western world. Money is earned and spent. It is an exchange we engage for food, shelter, clothes, experience, knowledge. It’s a big deal. Some of us have plenty, some of us have enough and some may not have enough.

It feels hugely important to me to share my passion & experience with storytelling with anyone (and everyone) who is keen to intentionally, willingly and wholeheartedly explore the power of story and storytelling. My fee is what I would ideally like to receive for my wholehearted and committed service to your exploration and development with storytelling. I am also open to negotiating. Sometimes I can offer services for less, sometimes I cannot. Payment plans are possible.

Last words - if you are truly drawn to this work - don't let the money stop you.
