I always looked up to the night sky and I am blessed to be living in the Pembrokeshire National Park, away from city lights. This section is what motivated my interests in mythologies and storytelling as I wondered: what did other cultures see in the sky? The answers, I am discovering, are diverse and fascinating.

I can offer tellings of star stories from around the world, also involving the Moon, the Sun and planets. The stories can be accompanied by a slide show of astronomical images and interspersed with a touch of astronomy. They would beautifully complement star gazing activities.

Since the winter of 2020, I have been offering online events with storytelling, images and music in collaboration with the wonderful and generous musician and sound artist Fallen Butnotdown, you can listen to his work on all music streaming platforms, in particular on  Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud.

Prompted by the lock-downs, some of these stories are now part of the Tales of a Starry Night podcast.
