A storytelling workshop with meditations, creative exercises, and deeply compassionate lectures. One of my core beliefs is that we can only tell the truth through story. This workshop is tailor-made for me. I look forward to revisiting it in the future. There is something special about being in a space with others, experiencing a workshop in person. But, for me, I am often distracted by my own need to make sure everyone else is okay. I actually like this about myself, that I am always seeing who might be lonely or uncomfortable or having big feelings. However, it does distract from having my own experience. For this reason, these Sounds True programs have been personally helpful. I think I've listened to all of John O'Donohue's. And so many others. As long as people are willing to share their insights, I'll keep listening! Thank you to Leah Lamb, Sounds True, and NetGalley for the audioARC.

Yes!! This book is so so needed right now!! In a world where we are being told creativity and story does not need human love heart and involvement, a book that clearly shows the passion and explains the IMPORTANCE of humanity within stories is soooo special to me. I’ll definitely be recommending this online in many places. I’ll post on goodreads, Amazon, insta, and lemon&

A beautiful heartfelt book. So many pearls of wisdom and so much more than just storytelling. Many times throughout, it made me stop and really think about some of the questions that Leah posed in turn coming up with some clarifying thoughts
It’s cold, cold winter here in Australia and it was a really lovely heartwarming book that I listened to while I worked away in my cozy jewellery studio, Leah’s voice was very calming and easy to listen to

If you have ever been interested in writing, poetry, journaling etc in any way I’d recommend this or even if you’re looking to open a creative side of yourself or assist anyone else maybe in your job or life this was really quite interesting.

It’s not too long and the narration is done beautifully also well written with explanations of everything so for things I was maybe about to question Leah then went on to explain!

The way in which she expressed writing in so many different ways and various forms of viewpoints, uses, interpretations and even from someone simply using writing on a personal level to a professional writer was fantastic. She really covered a lot in a relatively short period! Added into the mix is also a little meditation as well as explanations of mythical, elemental areas to explore in writing styles.

For a professional writer it may be one that would be good to have a hard copy for reference however she has a beautiful voice I’d recommend listening to the audiobook also!

With thanks to NetGalley & Sounds True Audiobooks for the opportunity to listen to this ELC it is greatly appreciated! 🎧📚🙏🏽❤️
