She is the author of the forthcoming book, The Whale Dreamer, and the seed planter for The Whale Dreaming Council, an organization that restores our humanity through our relationship with the original storytellers, whales.
Her work draws from years as a wilderness guide, a masters in social work, and a life spent exploring how story shapes who we become.

Mark is an artist whose stories are woven through many different mediums.
It was upon meeting Leah that he became entangled in the clues of sacred story when she first asked him what his archetype is. His answer was immediate yet confusing: "the thread" and wondered out loud how a thread could be an archetype.
Knowing full well the thread of story that had led him on a quest over fifty years of storyliving, Mark was surprised to discover that the word "clue" derived from the original word "clew."
In mythology, a clew was a ball of thread that was famously offered by Ariadne to Theseus to escape the Minotaur's labyrinth.
Clew is how we knew to thread our way through and through. Mark hopes these clues in 'The Little Book of Change' enable you to weave a life full of the change you want to be in the world.
