Short creative retreats
 

Inner Storyland Circles
This is a course of 3 weekends for beginners or for those creative writers and artists who would relish a fresh approach.

 We shall bring together material from the manifest physical world with that from deep introspection, using the kinaesthetic faculty to crystallise nebulous fleeting images and visions. Thus we can bring these inner images closer to the arena of our mental awareness where we can begin to clothe them with words.

Everyone has a tale to tell; come, join us, and stalk your own story!      

Part 1) Stalking the Story. Part 2) Shaping the Story. Part 3) Manifesting the Story.

For those seeking inspiration for any creative endeavour, using the tools of introspection, dream-work and guided inner journeying coupled with kinaesthetic forms of expression

(collecting natural objects from the land; sewing story-bags; making stick-dolls; drawing, doodling, painting; modelling; scribbling, writing or speaking into a recording machine – choices…choices…)

Elyan & Jane welcome you to the secluded woodland Farmhouse near Machynlleth, with snug log-fires and homely vegetarian meals. A very peaceful and cosy venue.

Enjoy all three weekends for full effect, or come to one for a taster.
