- the Mystery Forest -

6 sessions 2(ish) month mentorship:

This is a step off whatever familiar path you have been on in your life/art/telling/writing and into the unknown of the forest and story. We will tailor our time to work with 2-3 deep myths, explore archetypal energies and re-story, re-enchant your voice/path moving forward. This experience would also be ideal if you have a story you are interested slipping deeper into courtship with.

What this could look like:

Developing tools to become more embodied, present and focused to do your work.
Becoming more Mythically Awake to your life and the living world around you.
Re-storying your voice as; a storycarrier & teller.
Cultivating evocative language.
Engaging and exploring a story (and re-story) from your life, a favorite folktale and/or a big myth.
Deepen and transform your relationship with stories (including your own) and storytelling

A basic and fluid guide to the 2 month mentorship:

First month (3 session) – Listening, Imagining & Carrying

Get clear on what you want to explore. Exposure.
Learn storytelling basics and getting present to elements & archetypes.
Explore active listening & imagining, embodiment & presence.

Second Month (3 sessions) Courting, Refining & Reclaiming

Crafting & mapping stories
Resources & Voice
Re-membering, Re-telling, Re-birthing

What it looks like: 6 1:1 session via Zoom (or similar) over 2-3 months. In person coaching is also an option. Most sessions will run 60-75 minutes, though the first one could take up to 90.

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.

Many thanks!
