Haven’t you always wanted an amazing story to pass down to your grandchildren that feels like it is hundreds of years old? This three-hour workshop will open a doorway into the creative side of your storytelling. It doesn’t matter what level of creative ability you think you have. What matters is your willingness to turn the key. The focus during this workshop is on story development. Both workshops are open to any level of storyteller.
