Welcome to the longest running Storytelling centre of its kind. Since 1994, we continue to run courses and welcome people from all cultures, backgrounds, genders, ages and experience.
What is Storytelling?
​
We are all born storytellers. Storytelling is how we make sense of the world, who we are, where we are going and how we communicate this to others, personally or professionally.
Storytelling underpins everything we do: entertainment, education, healing, activism.
Our belief systems are stories, every algorithm tells a story. The myths, legends, folk and fairy tales that every culture has left behind are all "the distilled essence of human experience."
Roi Gal-Or co-founder of the International school of storytelling

'This course has shone a light on my path, which stood in darkness.
The connection, empathy, strength, and richness I felt from being a part of an incredible community is more than I could hope to receive in a lifetime…and yet I received it in 4 weekends! This course has been life-giving.'
