About Pam Faro, Storyteller

Pam says: “Frederick Buechner describes a calling as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”  Storytelling is my calling! The world hungers for the connection and community, the meaning-making and joy that are all part and parcel of the storytelling experience.”
