Tristan and Isolde:
Daring to love your own story
14th - 17th May, Cornwall
The Lost Cottage of Penperth
Make a commitment, meet friends to last a lifetime, grow deeper roots for your own story.
How could peace, wisdom and courage support you, your family, your work?
What blocks or 'stuckness' could you overcome with extended time alongside ancient myth, oak forests and a cottage hearth?
Who would you meet on a journey like this and what would the quality of that friendship be?
In these times of uncertainty this is four days, in the company of professional facilitators, extended time off-grid and a story with deep and ancient roots.
A calling to people who:
- Know that their contributions to their family, community and the world are directly related to the story they tell themselves.
- Have tried some approaches to inner work but never quite found the 'right fit'.
- Want to support their felt, real-world experiences with something deeper, something older.
- Are willing to write a letter distilling why now is the time, what is ending, what is beginning.
Immersed in the brutal and beautiful story of Tristan and Isolde, in Cornish oak woodland, guided by professional facilitators and storytellers, you'll learn the ancient way of 'sideways looking'. A practice to meet uncertainty, challenge and ever-more volatile terrain. The voice of doubt will never leave, but this is the practice of tuning into the older voice underneath.
A wild, unruly immersion into myth, nature and courage in a cottage surrounded by ancient oaks, on the banks of the River Fal, Cornwall.

Wisdom isn't learning something new, it's being reminded of what you've always known.
Ancient stories aren't flights of fancy, they're concentrated wisdom, passed down over generations.
For those wondering why important decisions feel bigger and harder than ever. For those doing their life's work, who want to go further than 'good sense' and having the 'right information'.
The world has gone mad. Whatever you're facing. Whatever the crossroads. This is a place to access your deeper wisdom: a courageous enough pause to remember what you've always known...

Mesmeric, deeply moving and uplifting for a tired soul. Those moments of stillness and reflection are still viscerally with me now.
What a beautiful evening. Thank you for the nourishment. I was moved to laugh and cry. I leave feeling more whole than when I arrived.

"Myticism, myth and mystery are all related to the Greek musterion: ‘to close the eyes or the mouth’. All refer to experiences that are obscure and ineffable, because they are beyond speech, and relate to the inner rather than the external world.”
Karen Armstrong
Weeping at the crossroads
We are journeying together through the valleys of a choking planet, suffering crises of fear and separation and obfuscation. Which way can we turn?
Wolf knows. She's howling for us to take a sharp exit from the path we're stumbling down and pause. Listen.
Once, fireside storytelling was the heart-song of a community, the meeting place of elders and youngers, ancestors and descendants, wisdom and vitality. A place to see ourselves in one another, history and nature.
In these times of confusion, intolerance, crisis...
We can call it back.
