With help from the Environmental Education Association of Illinois
and Forest Park Nature Center
we are organizing a three day retreat, August 15-17,
Learning Stories From The Land.
Registration is limited so sign up now.
To celebrate the bicentennial of the publication of the Grimm Brothers Stories I have posted a new video Bear Skin, one of my favorite Grimm Tales!
'''As a preview to the War of 1812 Symposium, IBI magazine published an article I wrote about Ninian Edwards. Register now for the conference April 26-28, in East Peoria, IL.
Within the pages of this website you will find Stories, Lesson Plans, Poetry and Articles that celebrate history and science through stories and poems.
There are ideas to help you strengthen your voice, motivate and instruct your students, and climb higher into your family tree.
There are also Books, CDs, and DVDs, for sale as well as stories to listen to and share with your friends.
My goal is to inspire folks to awaken to a deeper understanding of who they are within their relationship to human history and the natural world around them. I hope to evoke the storyteller within you.
Storytelling Performances are always entertaining, but offer something more, an opportunity to breathe together, laugh, and touch life more deeply. My Workshops are grounded in practical skill development and geared towards building the self esteem that comes with finding your voice and adding your voice to the choir of humanity! And a conference Keynote Address from a storyteller is more than a good story, but a sure fired way to inspire listeners with solid content and ideas that provides the spark to ignite change!
