I'm a storyteller by profession, known as the man from story mountain, and this is my so-called medicine lodge. It's a black-foot Indian story-telling teepee. The American Indians would often say that the greatest medicine you can receive is in ancient stories. They teach you the right decisions and the right path to walk to give you a fulfulling life. My quest is to be national co-ordinator of Greenpeace Australia, but now I make my living telling tales in all sorts of different settings to all sorts of different people - children, elderly people, mental health patients. I just tell stories and mend people's hearts, I hope.
