“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive.”

- Joseph Campbell

In this workshop we’ll explore how the stories we tell constantly create magic in our own lives. We’ll engage consciously in a process that is so often unconscious, so that you can begin to choose the magic you live by.

What does the magic in folktales have to do with the magic in you?!

Using folktales and our own stories, we’ll take a fresh look at what becomes possible when we notice where and when the magic actually takes place.

This is a game-changing workshop that explores the nature of the stories we tell ourselves in a completely new light, and shows us why and how there is always the option for, and the ability to change, for new magic, right here, right now, in the moment.

We’ll work experientially, through interactive storytelling, writing, drama and creative visualisation.

Changing the stories we tell ourselves, once we notice how it works, can mean:

Less angst more peace, less caring what people think more ease, less imposter syndrome more confidence, less arguments more good communication.

This workshop isn’t a fingers-in-the-ear, la-la-la, denial of our difficulties. It is, if anything, about getting more real, looking closely at where the rubber meets the road in our dealings with what life throws at us, and how we get to respond. By slowing things right down, we can begin to notice for ourselves how life and story are creating magic together, moment by moment, in real time.

When we start to see this playing out in our own lives as well as those around us, our own stories become more visible and our relationship to them begins to shift.

It’s this that paves the way for conscious magic.

It could be the start of a whole new way of feeling alive...

“Everything starts as a story”

-Joseph Campbell

This work has developed out of thirty years of working with stories, developing and facilitating experiential and creative processes for exploring the role of stories in our lives, and studying the nature of storytelling and the creative process.
