R. LYON BERGH

R. Lyon Bergh is an artistic, autistic, optimistic, and intuitive thinker who brings a unique—and often challenging—perspective to the subjects they teach and the wisdom they share. Rooted in both curiosity and care, their work seeks out the intersection of humanity and the divine. Their areas of specialization include narrative fiction, coaching neurodivergent thinkers, the art of tarot, and teaching the fundamentals of story.

Lyon earned a BS in Marketing with a Creative Writing minor from Wilmington University and an Associate's in Theology from a small seminary you've probably never heard of. In 2015, they were a finalist for the High Residency Creative Writing Fellowship at Ole Miss. Their training includes Meisner acting technique and comedy improv from the Delaware Theatre Company and the New York Studio for Stage and Screen, as well as Acting for the Camera and Masks with Kelly McGillis, and Filmmaking under the mentorship of director and cinematographer Brad "DP" Hoover. They are also a certified Inward & Artward facilitator.

From 2021 to 2025, Lyon had the honor of leading the writing program at Asheville School of Film. They currently serve on the faculty at Story Parlor and work as an autism support professional with the Autism Society of North Carolina.
