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 is Shonaleigh’s “big” course.
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.
The next chance to join is in 2024, when the course will run as a month intensive.
Bubbe's Wisdom
When the world is crying, it doesn’t need more tears.
What it needs is a hankerchief.
