Come and join us for a week of story, nature and creativity in the hills and valleys of rural Herefordshire.
Over five unhurried days, you’ll take part in welcoming workshops exploring the art and craft of oral storytelling, with space to develop your own stories, explore the insights stories contain within their imagery, share tales around the fire, and wander the land in the beautiful setting of Rock Meadow - a ten-acre rewilding site immersed in the natural world where your imagination can roam freely.
Whether you’re new to the path of storytelling or a seasoned teller, you’ll find a space here that will meet you where you are.
Each day will be held with care by experienced storytellers Hannah Moore and Marcus Pibworth, and will include nourishing shared meals, time for connection and time for rest, reflection and space to allow stories to settle deep into your bones. This is a chance to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with the timeless art of storytelling.
