There is an ancient language calling through the ethers of time.
Ready to be reclaimed and remembered. It speaks through the roots of trees, through the mist of clouds, the cry of an unseen bird. It arrives through the vehicle of a living sacred story, and these stories are living in, and through you.
The old stories are asking to be healed
and the new stories are ready to emerge, and the sacred stories are holding the wisdom of the ancients. But can you hear them?
Is your vessel clear?
Is your listening honed?
Can you catch and carry them so that they might be heard?
Is your mind prepared to break through your paradigms? Are you packed for a journey into the mythic realms and ready to face the mysteries?
These stories are your stories.
Ready to Tell Your Story?
Here is how it works…

A Special Invitation from Leah Lamb, MSW, Transformational Storyteller, Founder and Principal Instructor of the School for Sacred Storytelling
Storytellers hold the keys to thriving through the initiations of life.
In many ways these are miraculous times in which such diverse peoples with different origin stories, different belief systems, and different values form a multi-cultural society.
At no other time have people experienced so much transition at such a rapid pace, from technology to climate change to the appreciation of diverse identities.

“Everybody acts out a myth,
but very few people know what their myth is.
And you should know what your myth is
because it might be a tragedy
and maybe you don’t want it to be.”
– Carl Jung
