In the face of loss, storytelling can be a powerful tool for healing and connection. When words fail to capture the depth of grief, stories can offer a way to express emotions, find solace, and remember loved ones.
Through the sharing of personal narratives, individuals can connect with others who have experienced similar pain, finding comfort in shared experiences.
Storytelling can also help to preserve the memory of a loved one. he act of storytelling can be a cathartic experience, allowing individuals to process their emotions and find closure.
By embracing the power of storytelling, individuals can find healing, connection, and a renewed sense of hope.

CRONE RISE
Elders, with their wealth of experiences and wisdom, are the keepers of countless tales. Their stories, passed down through time, offer invaluable lessons, cultural insights, and a sense of belonging. Elders provide a tapestry that enriches our lives and helps us understand the world around us.
And, elders need to tell their stories- to make sense of our world, to affirm their worth, to review their lives.
Consider storytelling concerts "You Look Good for Your Age", "There Was An Old Woman" or "Fire Woman." Also available, Crone retreats that are story-based, in celebration of our Wisdom Years. Or, workshops to help Elders gather and tell their stories.

Women have long been the unsung storytellers, their narratives often relegated to the margins of history. Yet, their stories are essential to our understanding of the human experience. From ancient mythologies to contemporary narratives, women's voices have shaped our cultures, challenged societal norms, and inspired generations.
By amplifying women's voices, we not only celebrate their contributions but also create a more inclusive and equitable world, with unique strength.
Art and Soul Storytelling creates gatherings in which women can mine for, shape and share their stories, in both informal settings and from the stage.
