Where does inspiration come from? At some point in our lives, we have all felt inspired. I experience it as an inaudible whisper that only my soul can hear. When that spark longs to be realized, it very cleverly draws on bits of conscious and unconscious experiences. These fragments form patchworks that materialize into something never seen before. Writers and artists regularly tap into these moments for the pure joy of participating in creation. These creations, whether in story, on canvas, film, song or dance go on to inspire greater growth, compassion, love and laugher.
My team is raising funds for Story Summit, a supportive environment for those who have followed that whisper. Every dollar can take an artist one step closer to fulfilling their dream. With personalized attention from leaders in the field, Story Summit is that rare opportunity they have been waiting for. Please consider donating in support of this cause and thank you for supporting a beautiful cause.
From the beginning, it was always the word. Through the unique ability to imagine and connect to one another through words, humankind stepped into greatness.
Had it not been for Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables, our hearts may never have known compassion for the poor.
Had it not been for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, there may have never have been a civil rights movement.
Had it not been for Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, A Ghost Story, there may never have been the charitable component associated with the holiday.
We need one another. Had Ernest Hemingway not encouraged J.D. Salinger, there may never have been The Catcher in the Rye
The writer’s life can be lonely, so it is important to connect them with professionals who can support them in their storytelling and a lifetime of stories.
We see people, not writers. We are inspired by their passion and their willingness to give themselves up for their story.
We see equal value in all writers. We are dedicated to improving the lives of every storyteller we work with.
We build partnerships around the world with like-minded dreamers interested in building a better tomorrow through the future of storytelling.
The Mission of the Storyteller Foundation is to elevate the human experience through stories that inspire and encourage.
