NEW RETREAT: Hill House Sanctuary, 12-14 Jan 2024

Stories for the Heart is a workshop retreat for anyone interested in the medicine of storytelling who wants to experience and explore how we can use both true and traditional tales for personal and communal healing, for empowerment, understanding, connection and social change.

In the beautiful woodland, roundhouse, fire circle and workshop spaces of Sladebank Woods, we will spend two days: 

Listening to traditional stories 

Sharing true stories

Excavating the gifts that these stories have to offer us

Connecting with ourselves, the land and each other 

Enjoying creativity in nature

Dancing, playing, reflecting 

Going off the map into the deep magic of the imagination

The weekend will involve: 

Ceremony

Discussing and exploring the power of stories

Time for personal reflection and solo practice

Space to share stories, poems and songs 

Plenty of food 

Games & celebration

Time exploring the wonderful countryside we'll be in

The invitation is to come and spend a moment of your summer exploring the strength, resilience, hope and understanding that stories can offer us, and to take some of this wild magic back into the world - a secret gift for peace and change.
