À propos

Ashleigh will facilitate a storytelling workshop grounded in Indigenous storytelling traditions and Talking Circle practices. Open to all who are curious about self-expression through writing, poetry, or spoken word, the workshop offers a welcoming, culturally rooted space where participants are gently guided by prompts and invited to share. Centring connection, creativity, and personal truth, the experience fosters a sense of community and reflection.
