In this immersive storytelling workshop, we blend the magic of ancient oral storytelling with the wild wisdom of Glendalough’s nature (Co. Wicklow, Ireland) to reawaken our senses, curiosity, and joy. This storytelling workshop is for anyone craving less routine, more wonder. Come as you are — leave lighter, brighter, and buzzing with life.
“Have you ever taken a moment to notice the quiet hum of aliveness within you and the vibrant pulse of life all around you?
In this storytelling workshop, we will embark on a journey to rediscover that connection through two profound guides: oral storytelling and wild nature.
Oral storytelling will transport us beyond everyday thinking, refreshing our perspectives on ourselves and the world. Meanwhile, the stunning landscapes of Glendalough (Co. Wicklow, Ireland) will awaken our senses, and ground us in the present moment.
We will particularly focus on our ancestral stories, honouring the departed souls in our families. Our intention is to explore our connection to our roots, finding strength and guidance for our life’s journey.
This is where wonder meets wisdom — come and explore what it truly means to feel alive.
In this experiential storytelling workshop, you will actively reconnect with your innate sense of aliveness through two powerful channels:
