Stories in Nature
I combine my love of traditional tales and the natural world to offer nature-inspired storytelling and story-making workshops.
For 15 years, I’ve been sharing stories in parks, woodlands, and community gardens, places where listeners can relax and enjoy nature’s rich tapestry. I enjoy making the wonders of the natural world accessible to all and share tales in libraries, schools, nurseries, care homes, community settings, and on stage. I have a wealth of folk tales, myths and legends to inspire imagination, prompt curiosity and spark reminiscences.
Stories are entertaining and essential; they ignite our imagination.
From the comfort of an armchair, we can be immersed in daring deeds, pantheons, and loves won and lost or ponder ancient wisdom, defeat monsters, and make magic happen!
Spoken words are ephemeral, momentarily on the tongue, then silent, but the power of a tale well told lives long in our hearts and minds; some have survived for tens of thousands of years…no wonder storytelling is our oldest and most enduring art form.
