“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.”

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.
“There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. It emerges through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.”
Mother Teresa

Imagine A Community That Brings Out Your Greatness
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
Imagine a community that invites poetry, storytelling, and song. We are a merry brood who are sharing our unique gifts and understand that our voice can make a difference in the world. The nature of this program invites you into the depths of your consciousness, to wander the wilds of your inner landscapes, and to shine light on the darkest corners of your personal story. And to find beauty, grace, and wisdom, all along the way.
You will step into a supportive creative community. Long standing friendships have begun in these circles. The global nature of the program will foster international connections, expanding your potential for collaborative projects and initiatives worldwide.
“The future ancestors of this planet
may look back on this time and say, there was a time when stories ruled the earth.
And you could be one of the keepers, one of the creators, one of the carriers of those stories.”

“How to Tell Stories that Open Hearts and Change the World”
In this live, hour-long introductory module to Sacred Storytelling, you will explore:
- How to activate your creative spark
- The art and neuroscience of storytelling
- The most common mistakes storytellers make
- How to engage your audience.
Story Ceremonies And Workshops
Where stories come from remains a mystery.
Some will say stories come from the earth speaking out loud, others will say they are whispered by the ancestors, and others will speak of stories that rise from within our bones.
The relationship between ceremony, ritual, and story, goes back to the roots of the very first expression of theatre, and with the actor, Dionysus.
Each ceremony will be guided by a specific story, and that story will provide an invitation for you to explore how that story is — or isn’t– being lived through you and the life you are choosing.
Over the module of the 19-months of the curriculum there will be workshops and ceremonies you can choose to participate in. A workshop is something you may be familiar with, an all-day affair that combines learning, practice, time to create, and time to share and be witnessed.
In story ceremonies, we step out of the pedestrian, and into the mystery of story, into a sacred space, outside of time, and has a more open and spacious nature of being with story.
When registering for the full curriculum, five 1-Day Story Ceremonies or Workshops are included in your tuition. You can also register for each story ceremony on its own.
Immersive, Experiential Full-day Events
Full-day story ceremonies and workshops will provide intensive journeys engaging ritual and performance in community. These explorations will focus on a particular story that shapes our shared mythology and our view of ourselves. We’ll dig deeper into how this tale may be rooted in and informing your own story.
Over the course of the program, you select 5 of the 8 workshops and ceremonies to participate in. The full-day workshops will incorporate time to learn, create, share and to be witnessed. In story ceremonies, we step into the mystery of story, into a sacred space, outside of time. We will play with story, try it on and turn it inside out.

because it might be a tragedy
and maybe you don't want it to be.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there different ways for me to participate in the curriculum?
Experience with teaching in person and on-line led me to create a 20-month curriculum that consists of 11 self-contained learning modules. Students can participate in the entire 20-month experience, receiving the optimal benefits, or they may join one module at a time with unique, stand-alone workshops.
The Speak Your Spark program begins a new rotation every two years. It is possible to join the community at any point during our journey if there are spaces available in the individual workshops. However, enrollment will be limited, in order to preserve the intimacy of the group. If modules are filled by participants of the 20-month curriculum, then individual modules will be closed for registration.
What if I just learned about the program and I want to jump in?
The program rotates like a wheel. You can join the 20-month program at any time.
Can I attend just one module?
Yes, you can attend one or more modules. You receive a discount when you register for more than one module at a time.

Are scholarships or financial aid available? How do I qualify and apply?
You can apply for a scholarship here. We have limited spaces and prioritize elders and youngers. There is also an opportunity to do work-exchange.
What if I’m unable to complete the full 19-month program?
There are limited spaces in the 20-month Speak Your Spark program. The program requires a high level of commitment that opens the door for deeper breakthroughs to happen. It is important for students to be fully committed to the entire program and to plan ahead to make space and time for it during the 20-month period. That said, Leah recognizes that abrupt, significant life changes can occur, and the team works with any participant in such a situation to make the best decision under the new circumstances.
What comes after the Speak Your Spark program?
There is a facilitator training program in which you can continue your work with story as a tool for healing. Inquire to info@leahlamb.com for more information.
What if I have questions about whether the program is right for me?
We recommend you attend or watch the recording of the Introductory Session which will provide an overview of the curriculum and program format. You are also invited to attend a live Master Module where you can ask specific questions. You may also Contact Us via the online form with any other questions.
