STORYTELLER ~ STORYTEACHER ~ FACILITATOR
Phoenix is a master storyteller and educator whose work is grounded in lived experience — embracing life’s questions, challenges, beauty, and transformation. For nearly 30 years, he has inspired thousands through heart-centered presentations that educate and uplift, weaving story with truth to spark healing, connection, and change.
"The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive."
- Barry Lopez, Crow and Weasel
