Jared Anderson is a Counselor, Rite Guide, Storyteller and Co-founder of Beholden.  Since he was twenty, he’s been seeking wisdom, guidance and healing in nature, in old stories, from mentors and from solitude.  He learned to tell story by hearing story told with a drum by a man in Minnesota and began to tell story because he needed to hear it in this old way.  Since no one was around to do so, he had to take it up himself. He also works as a one-on-one counselor with adults and as group facilitator for people with mental health and addiction challenges. 

Ben Paulus is a local poet, writer, improv veteran, coach, and change facilitator. He has a passion and knack for creating safe spaces where people can be themselves, embrace change, and create magic together. Ben is also the founder of the Better Dads Project (betterdadsproject.com), helping Central Oregon men step into fatherhood with purpose and intention.
