Storytelling

"Storytelling is fine as long as you can encourage people to act on the stories."
                                                                  Karen Armstrong

For nearly fifty years, I have been encouraging men and women, young and old, to tell and listen to the stories they tell themselves and one another. I encourage them to listen and learn and to act on those stories in a way that creates dialogue and mutual understanding and a positive sense of well-being.

I have worked with story in my capacity as a counsellor, an educator, a coach and facilitator and, of course, as a performing storyteller. I have worked in the United Kingdom, across Europe, in the Middle East, and in Canada. I have worked with children, young people, adults, as well as many community and corporate organizations.

Storytelling is my passion and, as the late Scottish storyteller Duncan Williamson once remarked, stories are my education. I have learned so much about myself and other by sitting with stories and listening deeply to those telling them.

Of course, like you, I have made mistakes in my life, done things I have regretted, told myself stories that did not nourish me or others. But by committing my life to listening and working with the wisdom of story, I am creating a more positive and grateful life, a life where I can serve others. Storytelling and story coaching have become my spiritual practice.

If you would like to explore the stories within you and build the confidence to share them, I might be able to help you. If you want to learn more about the wisdom that stories can impart, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you. If you are ready to act on that wisdom, I'm ready to support you.
Michael puts you at ease and clearly has a passion to help you find the inner story. I thoroughly enjoy every session as I leave awakened and fired up to tell. . . ."  C. L. (Calgary, Alberta)
