Experience a sense of place, anywhere.

A place can hold your stories and those who have come before you. What’s true is that every place holds layers of time and story waiting to be remembered and revealed. Knowing these stories can bring a sense of place and belonging that is deeply needed in the world today.

Often people feel disconnected from where they are. They may be new to an area by choice or circumstance. Or they don’t seem themselves represented in the stories there. But finding their connections can be life-enriching and help both people and places thrive. That’s why I developed a framework and created experiences that help people find and explore their meaningful relationships with place.

The Sense of Place and Story Framework

My Sense of Place and Story Framework provides practical and creative tools to help people connect to places wherever they are. Honed through decades of work with groups and individuals, my approach offers a place-centered path for personal and professional enrichment. Learn more about my philosophy and approach.

This approach is for you if you want to…

• Hone your engagement skills, increase your impact, and make a difference by offering more inclusive programs as a natural or cultural heritage interpreter.

• Offer engagement events that inspire conservation, preservation, sense of place tourism, and community-building.

• Help the next generation connect to places through inspiring youth leadership programs.

• Inspire conference attendees with a keynote journey through story and song that helps them see the familiar through new eyes and connect to who and where they are.

• Explore your creative voice through finding your stories, and developing your ideas.

• Enrich your life and work by connecting with the power of place.
