April Bell
As a child, I spent my days listening to stories from which ever elder-neighbor would have me. More recently, I’ve crafted my wisdom-mining process into book form with My Life in Paragraphs: Find and Tell Your Stories. As my storytelling focus lends toward the spoken word, people daunted by writing love my approach.
I am the founder at Tree of Life Legacies, a storytelling and wisdom-keeping project based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 2008 I’ve been helping people find and tell the origin stories behind their values, often on video. I am co-creator of StoryCatcher® for iPhone.

What participants are saying…
“April’s process gives you permission to play with your story in a safe environment. It invites you into an experience that makes you feel like you can take that little bit of risk, without feeling like you’re going to be judged. It has a magical way of prompting that guides you deeper and deeper and deeper into your story until you’re face to face with the values you hold most dear.” —Dan Senter

Hearing story examples of what’s been important to other people helped me go further in my own thinking about what I want to tell.”

The real gift in this process is you think you’re simply telling a story, and then suddenly you’re standing on the frontier of your own values set. That’s when you realize, “This story matters to me because these things matter to me!”
