My mother and great-grandmother were powerful storytellers and orators. I feel I carry the gifts of my maternal ancestral lineage and their support with my expression.
I began this walk with stories in my homeland, Australia within a community of people who saw, celebrated, and fostered my gifts. With them, I guided interactive storytelling journeys in the bush interweaving ritual, story, creativity, and community connection. There was delight, surprise, and awe at the unifying and healing power of stories.
I moved to the United Kingdom in 2019 to study with Mythologist, Martin Shaw and take my craft to the next level. In the last 3.5 years, I have written over 200 original stories and have shared them right around the country. I now hold Sacred Storytelling Ceremonies every 6 weeks in Devon (on the Equinoxes, Solstices, and Quarter Festivals) designed to celebrate the earth’s changing wheel.
