I specialise in tales that take us deep into the belly of the earth and then throw us up into the stars. It is on these journeys that we are reminded how huge we really are.
My stories create a landscape where our dreams can take root in our reality and we can dare to live from them.
—Ricky Gervais, comedian
Inanna
One of the oldest pieces of writing ever found, this story of death and rebirth takes us deep into our winter selves to emerge with the rising sap of spring.
Winter Dreaming
This is a medley of tales woven together in a deep dream scape. The stories include: The Little Match Girl, Skeleton Woman and The Place Where Dreams Are Made. Perfect for summer evenings around an open fire or cuddled up in winter.
—Maya Love, Dragonsfly
The Six Swans
An ancient beloved tale. My version focuses on a young girl finding her power despite having six older brothers, and the brothers learning to appreciate the feminine within.
Storytelling with Whispering Wood Folk
The Handless Maiden
I have told this epic tale over days, nights, weekends and seven-year cycles. It has so many profound teachings for us to find our way home to ourselves. For this story, I’m often accompanied by cellist Ailsa Mair Hughes.
—Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
Stay Proud, with Warrior Tears
A medley of tales from the Court of Arthur to the first nations and overseen by the Greek gods. These tales speak to the warrior’s heart.
