How fortunate Sif to find your gift so early in life not to mention: discover it at all. Meant to be. Storyteller is a very important role in any community. Somehow modern society has lost sight of that importance. Storytellers inhibit tribal subgroups from breaking away to build an alternative reality based on lies. My favorite Christmas ornament is one I bought in New Mexico of a large woman sitting with many children on each leg listening to stories handed down from generation to generation.
Eigil, what a beautiful reflection. And I think you are absolutely right – storytellers have always held communities together through shared meaning, memory, imagination, and truth. I love the image of that ornament from New Mexico. It feels almost archetypal somehow – stories being passed from generation to generation around warmth, presence, and listening hearts. There is something deeply human in that. And perhaps that is why storytelling still matters so much :)
Sif, the image of that child at the typewriter, fingers dancing, following stories like films playing just behind her eyes, I felt it immediately. That quality of writing, where you're not making something up but stepping through into something already waiting for you. I think every true writer recognises that feeling.
And the detail of sitting with tears quietly running down your face, receiving notes on your manuscript just days after losing your father. Writing as sanctuary. Writing as the place you could disappear into another world and somehow, simultaneously, return to yourself. That's the whole truth of it, right there.
What you've built from that child at the typewriter to here, 300,000 copies, twenty books, international awards, a community of thousands, is remarkable. But what moves me most is that underneath all of it, she's still there. Still following the door.
The Sensory Storytelling Masterclass sounds genuinely special. I can only imagine what it must be like to learn this from the woman who lives it so completely x
You understood exactly what I was trying to express – that feeling of stepping into stories rather than inventing them. And yes… writing truly became both an escape and a return for me during that time in my life. Thank you for your beautiful words and generosity. They genuinely mean a lot to me. x
So glad you are already part of the village, Angela 🤍
The Sensory Storytelling Masterclass is being created right now and will launch in July at €67. But here is something to look forward to – when the doors open, there will be a little surprise waiting for all my paid Inner Circle members. A small treat for being here 🌿
And there are some other exciting new initiatives in the making for the Inner Circle too – all will be revealed very soon 😃
Hi Sif, I really want to take your master class starting in July! Please put me on the list!! And also I left you a message somewhere in here last week wondering if you would be interested to be my ghost writer for the autobiography book I am writing?! Please lmk all. Looking forward to having contact with you. Kim

Sif. I hope the following link works. It’s a story about a resurrected story teller: https://www.facebook.com/100057070315212/posts/pfbid0WaA3rUmDJPsSpTDF1sHSo29GEEMen2DMMq3oDvhe2b46CoFhzNzifSNhPvBZmVDWl/

Kiran… this touched me deeply ❤️

I'm very excited to have signed up, and even more excited to experience the masterclass in a few months!
It’s said we are all born storytellers we just don’t believe it.
