Building community through storytelling

Sharing stories creates community. All of Harriet's workshops are designed to give participants the opportunity to hear, learn, craft, and share staries in a community setting.

Harriet connects one of Grimm's (odder) folktales with the concepts of Campbell's hero's journey to help teens (and adults) appreciate their own strengths.

Children and Stories

If you have small children in your life, you already know how much children love stories. Harriet can help you learn how to learn and tell stories to the little ones. (Hint: reading out loud to kids is WONDERFUL. Actually telling a story is SUPER-WONDERFUL.)
