What People Are Saying . . .

"When I  left the workshop  I was feeling refreshed and inspired. I still am!"

“This workshop is a wonderful way for anyone to explore their own creativity.  The design of the days was a beautiful way to step into my own creative spirit, appreciate the creative spirit in other participants, and pick up hints and clues on how to craft stories from my own life experience as inspiration for myself and others.”

“It was a rich and fulfilling experience.  You have a great gift for creating an environment in which it's safe to be open and honest.  You're also particularly skilled in helping others use the ordinary experiences of a personal life to find common ground with everyone and anyone.”

Connie telling at the Mesa Arizona Storytelling Festival

"People are still talking about your program in October at Kanuga. One nurse told me last week that she had already used the tools that you gave us in her professional and personal life. Many have said that it was the best program ever! God certainly gave you the precious gifts of listening and storytelling. How wonderful that you recognized those gifts and have used them to bless people all over the world."

ETSU Storytelling Master's Program, Summer Institute

"Over these years I’ve been fortunate to study with Connie and I now jump head-first into that ‘mythic stream’ that she’s been telling us about. And still, I learn as much from listening and witnessing Connie guide and support those in our group who are brand new to storytelling, as I do from her work with the veteran tellers." 

Weekend workshop in Asheville, NC

"The richness of our work together had many layers.  I am impressed and grateful for the variety of people who are drawn to study with Connie.  Digging into stories with musicians, professors, librarians, computer experts was fascinating and great fun. And within moments of our initial gathering, Connie had created a deep kinship among us.  I don’t know how she does this, but it has happened at each and every workshop I have attended for the past 11 years."

“Sparkling!  Connie created a common ground for our diverse audience.” Margaret Cassilly, International Business Liaison

 

“Connie’s mastery as a storyteller and a teacher and her loving spirit are woven into this workshop in a way that made me feel I had taken a very long, rewarding journey over the course of few days."

 

 

"My name is Glenn and I am 13 years old. I heard you on your old LP record "CHILLERS" and I thought that the stories you told were the scariest. I just wanted to tell you that I think you are a great storyteller".

 

 

 

“Connie creates an atmosphere that is safe and accepting, free from criticism. Everyone has a chance to participate and is encouraged to tap in to their creative side.”

 

 

“You would think that a workshop that has such mixed levels of experience in storytelling, could be daunting for a beginner.  Not so!  I first dared to dip my toes in the water at one of Connie’s week long workshop.  It was one of the most refreshing, reassuring and rewarding experiences of my life!”

 

"The methods you used were brilliant and created a unity among strangers that was almost surreal.  We opened our lives to each other – our thoughts, our insecurities, and our pasts.  Perhaps that’s the epitome of storytelling.  The irony is that whatever we share with others enriches our own lives twofold. How can such an experience be completely explained?"
