Storytelling
Kenneth Shapley has been telling stories professionally for ten years now and believes that storytelling helps us appreciate both our citizenship and independence, giving us a sense of awe and wonder for life.
His greatest loves are stories that help us explore the mysteries of life and give us insights into other cultures. He has a gentle and enthusiastic presentation style; his performances encompass a wide range of story types, creation myths, wisdom tales of native peoples, wonder tales and stories of faith and personal growth. He supports his stories with musical instruments including Medicine Drum, Gongs and Didgeridoo which children and adult alike find spellbinding.
Kenneth Shapley is a firm believer in the power of storytelling, both as teller and listener, to help us develop a broad understanding of our wonderful world and to learn, through enjoyment, how to use our gifts of communication, creativity and imagination to the fullest. Stoytelling is invaluable in giving people the confidence to be present with each other through whilst exploring all of lifes myriad moods.

They are both proud work with the wonderfull Scottish Storytelling Centre which has worked wonders over the past decade in bringing storytelling to the local and international community.
