Cowichan Storytelling for Adults

Do you like listening to stories? Ever thought you might like to tell them to an adult audience?  Experienced storytellers will show you the magic of storytelling. You will hear about the many kinds of stories there are, with examples, as well as where you can find them for yourself.

Telling and listening to stories is more than child’s play! And it can carry you to the ends of the earth and back, without ever leaving your chair.

Join us in exploring storytelling for adult storytellers and listeners.

About the instructor:

Victoria storyteller and teacher, Jennifer Ferris, has been active as a storyteller for 30 years. She has performed in schools, at community events, nature sanctuaries and festivals. Through her professional work she has used story to engage and entertain listeners of all ages. Acutely aware of the power of humour and language, she loves to tell personal stories as well as tales of myth, magic and transformation from around the world.

Jennifer is as enthusiastic about the work of other storytellers as she is about her own. She has facilitated workshops for diverse groups: from Parks’ Interpreters to Montessori teachers to the BC Green Party. She gives workshops to adults, gifted children, families and international students. Participants find that her gentle approach and enthusiasm offers a safe environment to try new ideas. She offers coaching to new and experienced tellers.

Jennifer is the 2024 recipient of the Storytellers of Canada – Conteurs du Canada StoryKeeper Award.

“Jennifer is very professional, super organized and interesting. She never disappoints, whether she tells a story or whether she gives a workshop.”
