Greg doesn’t himself often host events. Most of his work is “for-hire” and not open to the general public. These occasions include school programs, donor/patron engagement with non-profits, retreats, or workplace wellness and team building. Occasionally you’ll find him at a library or festival. He also speaks in partnership with great organizations like People First Tourism, the North Carolina Storytelling Guild, and the Drum Circle Facilitators Guild.

You may, however, find the occasional exception listed here.
