Lichfield Storytellers: An Evening With Shonaleigh
7:30 - 9:30pm UTC
This course is a five-day deep-dive into the nature of narrative and story. It takes you through practical exercises and creative explorations to help you tell your story in whatever medium you work in.
Walking the Wildwoods
Walking the Wildwoods takes places over 3 years and is made up of 4 week-long residentials.
Participants are invited to walk with the Druts’yla tradition and discover a new way of thinking about story. We investigate how stories are held, unpeeled, understood and internalised on both a practical and holistic level.
Bubbe's Wisdom
When the world is crying, it doesn’t need more tears.
What it needs is a hankerchief.
