Custom-built mobile recording studio. Roaming, gathering stories, nurturing intimate conversations. Everyone has a story.
But not everyone gets the chance to tell theirs. And very few have their story told in such a way that it stays in the mind of the listener long after they’ve heard it. When we tell stories using sound only it invites the listener to become immersed into someone else’s world in a very intimate way. And at the heart of this is the human voice. It is through hearing the voice that we connect with ot
hers. I started this venture to satisfy my passion for telling stories and to share this passion with others. I want people to know that they and their stories are valued. Having my own mobile recording studio means I can travel to wherever the stories are giving people the opportunity to have their story recorded and told in a way that leaves a lasting impression on those who listen.

Someone once said that being listened to is so close to being loved that most people don’t know the difference. When we truly listen to someone, what we are conveying to them is, ‘I see you’.
This is in essence what my work with The Wayfinder is about.
Responsible storytelling that sparks awakening and connection.

Come on a story sharing journey with me. All you need to do is relax and listen. The invitation is to open yourself up to the healing power of being fully present while listening deeply to sound and stories.
Guests will make themselves completely at home inside The Wayfinder. There will be blankets, pillows, eye masks, soothing tea and delightful food offerings to help with this. During the session you will hear two to three separate stories. There will be a pause after each story where you will be invited to share feelings, emotions and thoughts that are stirring from deep within. Three to four people is the ideal number for these sessions.
As you go on this journey you are invited to not only finely tune your ears for listening but to be open to new ways of hearing. We are never really taught how to listen, so this is an invitation to learn to listen again, and to hear the potential for what stories offer us, “listening past what we already think we know”, and rediscovering what it means to be truly curious and withhold judgement. As we learn to hear differently we encounter the world differently.
I have three sessions available on Saturday April 6, Tuesday April 9 and Wednesday April 10. These sessions will be in nipaluna/Hobart. If you're interested in participating but are in a different area, I will be offering sessions throughout May in other locations so please get in touch and we can work something out.
This ritualised story sharing experience taps into the sacred act of storytelling. It's an invitation to revel in the richness of story sharing and experience the transformative effect of deep listening.

The Story of The Wayfinder
My passion is to travel around and record people’s stories and craft them into beautiful audio experiences. Having my own mobile sound studio allows me to travel to wherever the stories are and have a unique and specialised space to record conversations.
I’ve been producing audio features and documentaries for over ten years for a number of programs broadcast as part of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC RN). I spent a number of years travelling to East Africa finding and telling stories.
Now I want to tell stories in my own backyard. I grew up on Tasmania’s idyllic North-West Coast and so the country, the beach-side and the wilderness are all home to me.
I’m a big believer in a slower kind of storytelling. The kind where you take the time to engage and collaborate with local communities because it leads to much deeper human connections and better stories.
I’m so excited to engage and collaborate with local communities in Tasmania with The Wayfinder Mobile Storytelling Studio. I’ll be touring around the island finding and telling stories - at a slow and steady pace - so keep your eye out for The Wayfinder.
If you have any ideas for stories and collaborations let me know.
