Retreats - Practical Information
Overview
Mindful Storytelling retreats offer a deeper immersion into the practice of connection, presence, and authentic storytelling. Over the course of a weekend, we step away from everyday distractions to share true stories, listen with attention, and rediscover the magic of language in community.
Evenings
Each retreat includes campfire storytelling and music. These shared evenings are at the heart of the retreat – spaces of warmth, creativity, and connection.
Duration
Retreats run over a weekend.
They are either 2 nights (Friday–Sunday) or 3 nights (Friday–Monday).
Venues
Summer months: Camping retreats in nature. You’ll need to bring your own tent and camping equipment (a full packing list will be provided after booking).
Autumn, Winter, Spring: Retreats take place in a comfortable retreat centre, with shared or single accommodation options depending on the venue.
What to Expect
No prior storytelling experience is required.
Sessions involve listening, sharing, and guided exercises to help you discover stories from your own life.
Storytelling is not performance. You don’t need to prepare or “get it right.” The practice is about being present and real.
Every story is told without interruption. Reflection and conversation come after listening.
What to Bring
Comfortable clothes suitable for sitting, walking, and gathering outdoors.
For camping retreats: tent, sleeping bag, mat, and personal camping gear.
For retreat centre stays: bedding is usually provided (please check your booking details).
Meals
Meals are provided and are vegetarian. Please let us know in advance if you have dietary requirements.
