True Storytelling

An evening of participatory storytelling!

Do you have an amazing story to tell?

• Something miraculous that left you in awe
• A story that reminded you of what really matters in life
• The challenges you faced, and the lessons you learned

We’ll sit in a circle and tell our stories. True Storytelling is not about performance, it’s about sharing our stories in community, for inspiration, healing and mutual understanding. It’s also fine to just sit and listen!

We were inspired to venture out of our woodland bubble to experience a storytelling circle for the first time, attracted by the promise of a safe and compassionate ear for stories of a magical nature. We had never been in a circle before and were uplifted by the feeling of trust and genuine heart-felt responses from all the participants when they gave feedback to our story. What an enchanting, beautifully held space The Dragon Sanctuary is, we can’t wait to return to share and be captivated by more true storytelling.

The evening will be led by Leo Sofer, an experienced storyteller, who has also run many of these evenings. Leo will begin the evening with a true story of his own and then open the circle for more. We’ll aim to keep each story to 10 minutes, and there will be a short period for reflections after each story. We’ll have a tea break also. For more information about these True Storytelling events see this page.

Doors open at 6.30pm, come early for a cup of tea and a chat if you like.
