We all carry stories inside us – memories that take root, grow, and shape who we are. Danyah will help you uncover your memories, shift perspective, and shape your experiences into a ‘story gift’.
Whether you want to perform, write, honour a loved one, share a biographical story with family and friends, or explore your own connection to nature, this workshop is for you.
Discover the power of your own voice. Come as you are, and leave with a story only you can tell.
‘You gave me permission to rediscover my creativity… thank you for inspiring me to hang up my hang ups.’

‘From the moment you started the reading I felt in safe hands.’
If you’re at a crossroads, facing doubt or looking for new clarity, tarot offers insight to help you move forward with ease. I’ve worked with the Osho Zen Tarot Deck since the 1990’s, combining storytelling and intuition with the ancient wisdom of the cards. Rooted in the present moment, each reading is a mirror, a reflection of your own inner truth.
‘Danyah’s warmth and deep insight into the Osho cards helps to bring clarity, perspective and increasing my awareness of the possibilities open to me.’
