What if we humans could learn to listen with more than our ears? Today’s guest, Tracy Chipman, has been practising her storytelling craft for 23 years and she believes we can. She shares that a teller needs a listener and a listener, a teller.
Want to know how to be an active listener? Listen in as Tracy shares what she calls the defining feature. She introduces us to active imagining, too, and invites us into the co-creative practice.
Wondering where the stories come from, or how you might receive one? Keep listening. Is there a difference between reading the written word and storytelling? Yes, and you’ll delight in listening to Tracy share how she discovered this truth.
Curious about becoming a storyteller? Tracy shares her path and her current projects. There is something about storytelling that “lights me up like a Christmas tree,” Tracy says. Stick with us ’til the very end to smile along with us. We can’t wait for Tracy to join us again with her special surprise!
GUEST PROFILE: Tracy Chipman stepped onto the path of Storyteller under an Oregon hazel tree twenty years ago and has never looked back.
