We Created ThE Storyteller’s Summit for you
As experienced Funeral Celebrants, Funeral Planners and Educators, we understand that creating meaningful ceremonies requires more than just good intentions. It demands mastery of presentation skills, an ability to craft compelling narratives, and the confidence to engage with your audience effectively. The Storyteller's Summit was created to address these needs by combining foundational public speaking principles with advanced techniques for crafting and delivering impactful ceremonies.
