Have you ever searched for the rabbit hole, or hoped to find a portal to another world?
Have you ever made wishes on falling stars, or talked to the trees, or wandered along a path, wishing it lead somewhere marvellous?
Have you ever read a sentence in a book and wondered if it was about you?
Have you ever found more meaning in metaphor and myth than you do from practical ‘reality’?
Do you ever long for your life to be even more magical?
"For some of us – the mystics and the seekers – the world just makes more sense when we see it through the lens of a story. In metaphor we find truth. In symbolism we find a portal to a deeper understanding. In myth, we see our journey and our challenges as important pieces of who we are and who we are becoming, and we understand that we still have places to go. In stories, we find ourselves."
Let me tell you about the woman who woke up and discovered that the left side of her left eye had changed to sea-glass green.
Let me tell you the story of the girl who stood nose-to-nose with a dragon.
Let me tell you the story of the house on the other side of the window.
Let me tell you the story of the shop that wasn’t there this morning.
Let me tell you the story of a woman who met a storyteller and decided to become a part of the story herself.
Why Seven Stories?
Shortly after Unfurl was published, I got an email from a woman thanking me for the story and telling me that if I could just tell her where the door was, she was ready for her own adventure to begin.
Surely the writer of the story would know where the portal was located?
That has stuck with me ever since, and so as I began to write stories again, I kept my eyes peeled for the magical doorways. Where were the portals and the rabbit holes and the liminal in-betweens? How could we all become a part of the story?
What Is It?
Starting April 19...
Once a week for seven weeks you will receive a new story. It will include:
MP3s of me introducing and reading you the story, and one of just the story (so you don't always have to listen to the introduction.)
Journal prompts and questions to help you enter into the spirit of the story.
AND THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING BIT: A guided meditation that is the story - but with you as the main character. You will get to be IN the story!
Then later on in the week you will have two more 'lessons' released. These will have more journal questions and writing prompts to take you even deeper and – if you would like – to get you writing!
This course is about going deeper into your own inner landscape and seeing your world with new eyes. It’s about remembering why stories mean so much to our hearts and souls.
It’s about remembering that – in our hearts – we are made up of stories.
The Story Behind the Stories
When I was thinking about what I wanted to offer with this course, I sat down and really listened to what wanted to come through.
I wanted it to feel gentle and easy. I wanted it to make you feel safe and loved and like there was nothing that you had to fix and nowhere that you had to be. I wanted you – and me – to feel immersed in wonder and enchantment and delight. I wanted it to feel inspiring in a way that went deeper and wilder and richer than the usual e-course, but with less getting behind or worrying about doing it right.
I wanted truth and questions and beauty. I wanted magic.
When I sat down to begin writing what I thought was going to be a normal course, I was surprised to discover a story waiting to be written. And it wasn’t alone.
The more I sat down and wrote, the more came. I kept hearing the words, “Seven Stories” in my head. And sure enough, by the end of it, I had seven stories to tell you.
Seven Stories to enrich your days with a bit less to-do and a lot more wonder.
Seven Stories to help you remember that you live in a world created by imagination.
Seven Stories to remind you of how powerful you are.
“We live in story like a fish lives in water. We swim through words and images siphoning story through our minds the way a fish siphons water through its gills. We cannot think without language, we cannot process experience without story.”
~ Christina Baldwin
Why Now?
When the world is busy telling you all of the ways that you are wrong, stories remind us of all of the ways that we are always connected to our power.
Remember curling up with a good book? Let’s get back to that pure you; that essence of who you are at your most imaginative, most creative, most connected self.
Stories remind us that we are the heroine in our own life, and that maybe those dragons aren’t so bad after all.
We need to remember that now more than ever.
