Performing Epic Love Stories at Haiku Mill in Maui.
"Leah lives in story, it resonates in her being – as a teller, as a writer/thinker, as an activist/world changer, as a contemporary artist rooted in the ancient. She knows the alchemy of myth and the miracle of life, and the tangible magic of language performed."
-Joe Lambert, Founder, Center for Digital Storytelling
Short Stories
Love Story Series
About these Love Stories:
These stories aren't for the faint of heart. They are wild adventures that journey into the depths of love and involve seducing a spirit in the forest who brings about lusty romantic interludes, facing the harsh realities of what happens when you refuse the kiss of a dragon, and falling in love with a God... and trying to remember how to love again as humans.
Why Do You Want to Live with These Stories?
Because you’re a sucker for love, and want to take the deep dive into the wild ride it can provide. Because you want to look into the corners of your consiousness about how you live with love.
These stories contain adult content.
"When Leah first shared Soul Stories with me, I understood exactly what she is doing: she is a story oracle. Leah has a rare gift of using the ancient art of story telling as a healing art. With intelligence, depth, and a dash of playfulness she wove a story and created meaning of the metaphor so that I was able to receive a mythical version of myself, revealing some of the deepest truths that were alive in my unconscious. Soul Stories serve as yet another tool to connect to the divine self. It is an opportunity not to be missed!"
-Marci Shimoff, Speaker &Author, "Happy for No Reason",
"Love For No Reason", and "Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul"
A Soul Story is a one-of-a-kind story that is written just for you… a story designed to speak to your soul and connect you to your mythic and divine self.
Soul Stories is an ancient and intuitive art where, as Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of Women Who Run With The Wolves explains, "The storyteller senses the audience and enters a world between worlds where a story is attracted to the trance-teller and told through her...by calling on El Duende...the wind that blows soul into the faces of listeners."
I describe the process as a ceremony (rather than a performance), this can be done for through indivvidual sessions in person or on the telephone.
Soul Stories are perfect for:
-
Rights of passages
-
Birthdays
-
Soul 2 Soul Stories for Weddings and Unions
-
Groups/workshops

-

"Leah wrote my medicine story guided by something utterly divine. The story that came through her touched my heart, opened me to a new edge in my life, and inspired me to see gifts within me that I simply could not see before. Leah's story is truly medicine."
-Maggid Zelig Golden, Founder of Wilderness Torah

Live Events
"From the first moment I heard Leah share one of her original stories, I was captured by her deep imagery and her understanding of the human spirit. Lifted from my mundane world, she carried me into a mystical place of possibility and wonder. I am so grateful for her contribution to the 2012 Santa Cruz Storytelling Festival. Her gift for storytelling is both a gift and a unique voice for the heroine in all of us!"
-Sirena Andrea, Founder, Santa Cruz Storytelling Festival
