The School has something of a crew of musicians,
philosophers, healers and dancers holding the whole
shimmering beast together with their humour and desire
to tickle the beard of Dionysus. They may be washing a
plate or creating a fire but look twice and and you'll see
someone from the old stories. Our beloveds.

Additional study is provided by storyteller and outdoorsman Chris Salisbury.


Chris is director of
both Wildwise events and founder of
the Westcountry Storytelling Festival.

Chris brings both knowledge of the forest and a keen eye for the practical craft of storytelling.
