What people saying:
Gilly’s course was an inspiration… her competent story-telling, professional and yet caring way of leading the group to deeper insights, her handling of sensitive moments, and her capacity to weave a net of trust and connection between all of us, has left me with more story-telling tools, inwardly nourished, and with new friends around the world! Thank you Gilly! (Briar Grimley, South Africa)
I experienced Gilly as a very compassionate, generous and a wise teacher. Her storytelling style is magical and absorbing. Gilly is very soulful in her storytelling practice . Along with teaching us skills for telling traditional stories, she also lead for us very healing processes through traditional tales. Gilly has a gentle easy way of leading reflections with creativity, presence and emotional depth. I would highly recommend Gilly to anyone who wants to experience the potency of stories to heal and change and how to facilitate such processes. (Madhu Shukla, India)

I am grateful for your warm and centered presence and how clearly you held the space and enabled conversation. That is no small feat given the challenges of Zoom.
