Bio:Storyteller and certified TimeSlips facilitator. The ancient epics let us share joy and suffering; they let us laugh out loud, make us afraid and then allow us to breathe a sigh of relief. In brief, they mirror our shared experience. Stories also heal.. And help to build community. Sharing stories means sharing our soul. What more can we ask? Have told to children and adults in Canada, USA and Ireland. Member of the Healing Story Alliance
