Question 1

What is Narrative Wild?

Accepted Answer

Narrative Wild is a practice that helps people explore transformation through story, ritual, embodiment, and conscious self-authorship. It draws on narrative inquiry, ceremony, facilitation, applied theatre, and reflective practice to help you recognize the stories shaping your life and consciously participate in what comes next.

Question 2

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. Narrative Wild is not psychotherapy, clinical counselling, or mental-health treatment. It is relational, creative, reflective, and ritual-based, and may complement therapy or spiritual direction, but it does not replace licensed care.

Question 3

What happens in a session?

Accepted Answer

Every session is different. Sessions may include reflective conversation, narrative inquiry, embodiment practices, symbolic or ritual exercises, storytelling, and witnessing. Some are deeply reflective; others are more active. The work unfolds collaboratively.

Question 4

How long is a session, and how many will I need?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are typically 2 to 3 hours, spacious and unhurried. Some people find a meaningful shift in a single session; others return at thresholds over time. There is no required number and no fixed path.

Question 5

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost should not be a barrier to beginning. One-to-one Narrative Transformation sessions run on a sliding scale with a suggested contribution of $150 CAD (roughly $100 to $250+). Ceremonies and ritual work such as weddings and memorials start at $650 CAD and are shaped to scope. A deeper multi-session Marriage Journey, preparing for the marriage and not only the wedding, starts at $1,500 CAD. If finances feel like a barrier, please reach out.

Question 6

Do sessions happen online or in person?

Accepted Answer

Both. Narrative Wild offers online sessions, in-person sessions in and around Victoria, BC, site-specific ritual work, and community-based workshops.

Question 7

What kinds of ceremonies do you create?

Accepted Answer

Custom-designed weddings and commitment ceremonies, queer unions, memorials and celebrations of life, divorce or uncoupling rituals, coming-of-age and queer rites of passage, grief and transition rituals, chosen-family gatherings, and seasonal or threshold ceremonies.

Question 8

Can you help me design and write the ritual or ceremony even if I don't know what I want?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at whatever level of involvement you need. Some people arrive with no idea what they want and ask me to shape the whole thing, structure, symbolism, ritual moments, and words. Others have the logistics handled and just want the vows, script, or a single ritual moment to feel more like them. There is no set order: we begin with a conversation and let the ceremony find its form, and I make sure it sounds like you.

Question 9

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Everyone belongs. Belonging is a rite, not something to earn, so this work is open to people of all identities, backgrounds, and beliefs. People often arrive while navigating transition, grief, identity shifts, burnout, relational change, spiritual reconstruction, creative blocks, or questions of meaning and belonging. It often resonates with queer people, creatives, helpers, and exvangelicals, and you never need to share my story for the work to be yours. The more of us who recognize ourselves in our own stories, the better off we all are. And if something about my work, my story, or my process resonates with you and you want to work together, then this work is for you — let’s begin together.
