BIO
Katherine Taylor was born within the sound of Bow bells, East London. As a Cockney, and with Irish heritage, Katherine believes she is predisposed to be a great storyteller! Katherine is married to Mike and together they have three grown sons, an energetic bull lurcher called Fossey and a very lazy cat named Einstein. Katherine lives in Somerset and, until very recently, worked in a village primary school delivering all of the R.E. there. She also delivers reflective storytelling in other primary and secondary settings, speaks at conferences, and delivers twilight training sessions at schools throughout Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, and even further afield sometimes. Katherine’s passion is to see the Time to Wonder reflective storytelling method used with confidence by practitioners in school settings nationwide; to provide young people and their teachers with the time and space to be still and wonder deeply.
