Live Group Mentorship to Learn, Ask & Grow Together

Two Monthly Sessions for Real-World Storytelling Challenges

The Mentorship Circle is your space to collaborate, ask questions, and gain practical guidance directly from Dania and Andrew. Designed for storytellers working on SSBV projects or creative challenges, these live sessions offer:

• Guided discussions, workflow insights, and practical solutions
• Case studies and real-world examples to spark new ideas
• Conversational, supportive space where your questions guide the session
• Community-driven learning — listen, share, and grow with like-minded creatives

Can’t make it live? All sessions are replayed for two months, so you can revisit guidance and inspiration anytime.

Whether you’re actively working on a project or simply absorbing new ideas, the Mentorship Circle gives you the accountability, perspective, and connection to continue developing your storytelling craft.
