Spark Meaningful Work With Storytelling

Bringing folk & fairytales to life at your corporate & non-profit events.

Want to sprinkle some magic on your corporate/non-profit family day or bring your child to work event?

Book me to perform interactive folk and fairy tales that your families will be talking about around the juice boxes… I mean, water cooler… for months to come.

I also perform live versions of my podcast, The Fairy Tale Art Cart: Draw Along Stories For Kids for corporate and non-profit events. Families will not only be a part of interactive folktales told live, but will get creative together during the story drawing breaks. I perform these events solo or in collaboration with my network of live musicians.

Everybody is a storyteller when folk & fairy tales come to life at your next event.

How storytelling with me pumps up the volume at your next event:

Audiences imagine the tale & build a story world together.

  • I tell stories directly to and with the audience, building human connection & community 

  • Energetic call and response and audience participation

  • World cultures and perspectives come to life as we travel the world through tales

  • Work with me to create a unique performance that ties into your themes

  • OR choose from a set list of performances

Rachael’s storytelling PD was so important as we transferred back into the school building [after Covid]. Her passion and expertise in the art of storytelling transformed the way our teachers engaged with students. Rachael’s workshop is a must for any educator looking to bring magic into their classroom through the power of storytelling.

Professional Learning for Museums & Libraries

Hands-on creative workshops that inspire museum and library professionals to light up their spaces and communities with energized learning that weaves storytelling into the work they are doing.

Rachael’s joyful and fun energy were key to making this workshop a success. She got 40 librarians up and participating in just a few minutes on a very rainy Monday morning. Pretty incredible.
