You, like every human being, are a storyteller by birthright. You are born with an endless supply of personal and universal themes.

Throughout time storytelling has released creative, healing forces stored deep within individuals, families, and communities. This course gives you an opportunity to enhance your healing presence and to develop a lively and profound approach to story-making and storytelling.

As we create stories, develop storytelling voice and style, and build a dynamic repertoire of age-appropriate stories for the home, classroom, and beyond, you will learn how to awaken the storyteller within you to support the development of children through their growing years. Guided exercises and well-tried story patterns will help evoke the transformative wisdom that is sensitive to children's ordinary and extraordinary challenges.
