Nowadays we live our lives at such a fast pace that sometimes we need permission to take a break. Storytelling gives us that opportunity. It can provide a bridge to our inner stillness and enable us to slow down and take a breath, a life giving breath, whilst allowing us to make new connections and insights.

It is reputed that when a woman visited Einstein with her 9 year old son, asking for help to improve his maths, Einstein said:
If you want him to be clever tell him stories, if you want him to be wise tell him more stories.
