Ingrid Norton | Culturist at Culture Vitale

About Ingrid

I'm an expert facilitator, educator, public speaker, and storyteller, with experience leading a range of participatory experiences, seminars, and workshops for diverse, creative professionals. I've performed ancient and modernized myths at venues from libraries to open air festivals. I lead participatory workshops and consult on imaginative storytelling and cultural change. I have a PhD in literature from Princeton and a Master's of Theology from Harvard Divinity School. My work brings together scholarly expertise, spiritual depth, and artistic flair. I'm the founder of The Myth Lab, a new NYC-based project that brings together artists and audiences to develop imaginative stories that envision a more ecologically and emotionally whole world.
