Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!

My new book of poetry Singing Up the Sun is available for purchase!

My August Newsletter will be going out soon.. If you want to get on the list please click here
Within the pages of this website you will find Stories, Lesson Plans, Poetry and Articles that celebrate history and science through stories and poems.
There are ideas to help you strengthen your voice, motivate and instruct your students, and climb higher into your family tree.
There are also Books, CDs, and DVDs, for sale as well as stories to listen to and share with your friends.
My goal is to inspire folks to awaken to a deeper understanding of who they are within their relationship to human history and the natural world around them. I hope to evoke the storyteller within you.
Storytelling Performances are always entertaining, but offer something more, an opportunity to breathe together, laugh, and touch life more deeply. My Workshops are grounded in practical skill development and geared towards building the self esteem that comes with finding your voice and adding your voice to the choir of humanity!
