"Roi is one of those people that is going to change the way you look at life and yourself. He's funny, grounded and sees the good in you and is able to let it come out with ease and, mostly, without telling it to you. His wish to lead people to "wholeheartedly" tell stories becomes a reality by the way he tells stories and by the way he is during the time spent together."
Chiara , (York storytelling workshop participant, 2019)
"I loved being around people from so many different backgrounds and countries.
Deep immersion into deep stories.Yeah! I feel like my brain is different!"
Lisa Nelson, USA
"I have grown as a storyteller and teacher and have seen others take flight
on wings they didn't realise they had within themselves."
Judith Frost-Evans, storyteller, biography worker, museum host, founder of In The Belly of the Whale School of Storytelling, New Zealand
