STORYTELLING COMMUNITY

Stories flourish when told in community, for
​each listener brings the diversity of their own experience to the images of the tale. Members of my Patreon community receive free admission to all of my online storytelling events and classes, as well as access to additional storytelling recordings and resources.

​Consider joining that community to deepen your connection to the mythologies of the world.
