About
Djeli (formerly William Forchion) is a story weaver who helps transform overwhelm to overjoy for people of all ages and backgrounds. Ki is a thought leader, life coach, mentor, public speaker, lifelong storyteller, former Cirque du Soleil acrobat and Hollywood stuntman who has traveled the world collecting stories. Having to heal from a physical injury introduced Djeli to the need for healthy healing practices through art and story weaving. Ki believes that we are all each other's medicine. Djeli's background of growing up on a farm in South Jersey created a true connection to nature. Through the story weaving process, ki aims to help others discover how their own connection to nature inside and out affects their personal stories. Djeli's story weaving is designed to promote healing for individuals hurting from the problems of the world. Ki believes that no matter where we travel in the world, we laugh, we cry and we breathe in the same language. Ki uses oral, written and physical traditions, including poetry, to create an atmosphere of curiosity and dialogue, even around difficult topics. Djeli's open and honest approach of speaking from the heart helps others breathe life into their own stories as part of a healing process. Djeli earned a B.S. in Metaphysics and is a Reiki master practitioner. Ki is also a published author whose books include Billosophy: meditations on God, movement and miracles, Sacred & Sacrosanct: a collection of poems, #A Poem A Day: one year of poetry and The day after Juneteenth: a collection of poems. Djeli's poetic works have been showcased in numerous festivals and publications. Djeli has also served as a U.S. State Department Cultural Exchange Ambassador for the Arts making multiple trips to Turkmenistan. Djeli's work is derived from his guiding mantra "I Am Enough" aligning head, heart and gut in the pursuit of fullness of self. This mantra along with the guiding statement "We are each others medicine." create the foundation principles of Djeli's purpose that we creatively come together to transform. Djeli travels frequently as a presenter, ceremonialist, workshop facilitator and keynote speaker. |
