Corporate, Business:
Storytelling is a communication technology used to impact an organization's culture. It is a critical link which allows employees to bridge their personal knowledge and experience-the heart of their lives-with their responsibilities in the work world. This results in stronger teams and business practices for the new millennium. Storytelling in the workplace offers staff members new ways to communicate and cope with change, share accomplishments, acknowledgements, and visions. |

| Education: |
| School assemblies, small group workshops and teacher in-services. We explore some of the tools, values and practical applications of story to enhance learning as well as bibliographic materials for story selection. Opalanga provides tools of the trade, courage for the timid and innovations for the experienced. |

| Wellness and Community: |
| Explore how stories that are 'living us' influence our state of health and well being. Experience storytelling as medicine to heal the sick, educate the young, and restore balance. Through stories, ritual and ceremony, Opalanga marks life's most sacred passages: naming ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and other transitional moments in our journeys. She is committed to bring traditional wisdom into the heart of the modern world. |
