Podcast: Building Community Through Story with Sian Cornelius

Happy Earth Day everyone. I’ve made a foray into the realm of podcasts! Here’s the first episode with Welsh storyteller, author and harp player (amongst a very large range of other skills and interests).

Sian was living in Christchurch in 2011 when the earthquake hit. In this episode, Sian explains how that experience led her to become passionate about the power of story to transform ourselves and our communities after trauma.  Her book, Transition Girl, shares the story of this part of Sian’s life.  She has also published Gower Folk Tales, a collection of traditional stories from the Gower peninsula in Wales, where she lives off-grid in a lovely solar-powered wooden cabin in the woods.
