Storytelling Beyond Words: a 12-week storytelling training to meet the challenges of the 21st century
Emerson College, England
Sunday 19 September 2021 to Friday 10 December 2021
"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 have grown as a storyteller and teacher and have seen others take flight
on wings they didn't realise they had within themselves."
