I am a Wisconsin native who has roamed and roved far and wide and now resides here, once again in the land of red granite, dark wild woods, and clear, near bottomless lakes. I stepped onto the path of storyteller 25 years under an Oregon hazelnut tree and have never looked back. Deep listening, wild imagining, and getting out of the way for the story to tell itself are the tools of my trade.

My ancestors; peasants, pioneers, puritans, immigrants, politicians, poachers, and travelers carrying stories from the Jurassic Coastline to deeply logic Bavarian forests, from Great Lakes to Rolling Prairie-lands.

I believe that stories and the art of storytelling are transformational and absolutely essential at this time to all life on this planet. We must wake up to live more robust, compassionate, whole, and conscious lives.

Storytelling & stories are set deep in our human bones. More than ever we need more people mythically awake. We need to listen deeper, to imagine well beyond the coding of colonization and we need to find our way back to awe! We need the evocative intelligence of old myth and folklore to weave in, with, and through the fabric of our lives, our communities, this planet, and our own stories re-aligning with and remembering we are part of a larger whole. There is always time and there's always a need for stories to be told!

"Tracy Chipman brings her full humanity to her storytelling. Whether she is telling a Celtic myth or a story about her Grandmother, there is a vitality and a truthfulness to her presence, through which she calls us to presence too. ...Here, alongside the lash of the waves, there is time to breathe, a tough sense of humour, and also great tenderness. Her voice of wisdom and compassion lives on in me." ~ UK based Storyteller Jackie Singer

"Tracy's vivid words create a magnificent story-scape, another world you can so easily slip into while listening to her. The stories Tracy shares are ones that can be understood from many viewpoints, with many lessons. I've found myself so completely captivated with one in particular that I keep dreaming it up all over again. Please enjoy and cherish the sweet act of listening to the stories Tracy tells!" ~ Liliana C, in Madison WI

"We had 19 children and 12 adults attend our Dreamtime Tales program with a tour de force storytelling performance by Tracy. The vast beauty of her stories was the richness of content and description. Mouths watered as they heard a story of jelly-beans falling from the sky like rain. Children's eye's glistened as they imagined the silky red robes and golden curtains of the emperor's palace in one story. In short, our storyteller had excellent powers of description and expression and she delighted a very jubilant crowd during a bustling opening today." - Corbin at Sheldon Branch Library, Eugene Oregon
