Sneak Peak... 

 at the types of stories we will be replacing & the types of stories you’ll be telling in (and after) this workshop…

Dr. Joey Liu

Educator, Storyteller, Coach, Healer & Activist

I think a lot about how we can become the people we need to be to shift paradigms & sustain a healthy world. My work intersects with decolonizing, healing, storytelling, cultivating communities of belonging, stewarding our planet, protecting what’s good for all living systems, and disempowering what isn’t. 

I've been an educator-activist for 18 years. In different chapters, I've been a spoken word coach, created university-approved coursework on Oral Expressions, helped teams of teachers explore their internal biases and transform department culture to be more equitable & inclusive, and built programs from the ground up to close gaps in the educational system.

Along the way, I've learned a lot about the balance it takes to address systemic issues on one hand & on the other hand to hold safe space for people to do their inner work of self discovery & growth. Both are needed to sustain radical change. 

I've been doing my inner work too. From becoming a certified Kundalini yoga teacher to spending years learning from Indigenous teachers & communities about healthier ways of being, my journey has led me through self-healing, inquiry, and expression. 

In this chapter, I'm crystallizing all my strands of work, learning, and being into a framework I call sacred story work. I teach sacred story work now to paradigm-shifting leaders, guiding them to deepen their self-healing, self-inquiry, and self-expression.

My mission is to support a community of thriving voices from the global majority who will reverberate the necessary knowledge, imagination, and ideas for the liberation of our best collective futures.
