from Jenni Cargill-Strong In 2006, after hosting a workshop by therapeutic storyteller and author Nancy Mellon in Byron Bay, Nancy asked me what my big dream was. I replied “A storytelling foundation in Byron Bay.” Thus the idea for a storytelling workshop business called the Story Tree Company was born. Full of optimism and determination, I invested money on a new website, a logo, flash flyers

A few months ago it was necessary for me to let my storytelling site go. Wonder if anyone noticed. Well actually, it was getting quite a few hits but I can't tell from whom. I've decided to resurrect it in a different format for those who might find it useful. I had published a lot of stuff such as storytelling tips and book reviews that would be particularly useful to new tellers. Gradually I'm

From John Halpin. Pomona is almost unrecognisable from the town I remember from 17 years ago. There's a nice little cafe on the corner where I had some scrumptious garlic mushrooms for lunch prior to doing the storytelling at 2pm. The Majestic people (Sian Williams was the contact person) had arranged a week of activities for school kids and had publicised them all around the town. The theatre

I have been very fortunate to have travelled to a number of countries as a result of my husband’s work. These have been, for the most part, quite lengthy stays which have given me the chance to get to know the countries and the people quite well. This travelling has also been a great boon to my storytelling. I grew up in Lancashire in the north west of England and, even before I discovered
