lauren leonardi.
storyteller and maker.


about me.
I’m a writer, storyteller, lover, friend, daughter, and maker. I'm a mad medium juggler and dabble in ceramics, fiber art, watercolor, surface embellishment, and more. But story has been there since even before I could read. I was born with it, same as I was born with my skin, and I imagine it'll come with me when I go. Storytelling is my primary craft, and I do my best to honor it as ancient medicine.
I'm currently seeking publication for a book-length non-fiction project you can learn more about below under "work in progress." I’m also the Managing Director of a heart-centered, mission-driven learning organization—it's a sort of spirituality school for smart, savvy skeptics. And when I'm not writing words, making objects, or working for a living, I’m also a gatherer of people, builder of community, and creator of ceremony and ritual.
