Maybe, in the twilight, meet yourself...
Tristan and Isolde:
Daring to love your own story
14th - 17th May, Cornwall
The Lost Cottage of Penperth
Palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware spent years with people at the end of their lives. The most common regret was: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
​
The question is: What is a 'life true to myself'?
This event is for people who are showing up for everyone else – a life in service or performing a role – who want to life a life truer to themselves, less easily moved by trends, organisational decisions or people pleasing.
​
Together, we'll put down deeper roots in our own stories, to stand more firmly in the rising winds of change.
​
Quietness in an ancient oak woodland, swimming in the River Fal, offgrid in a cottage, surrounded by new allies and an ancient Cornish story, we will move torwards grief, love, joy, regret.

Where do you ask unanswerable questions? When did you last hear your heart?
Every route and campfire guided by Recalling Fire sounds out the kinds of openness and curiosity left behind in our modern world: invitations to pause, feel and think carefully about the route we are on – as individuals, communities and a species.
​
We can close in and let the flames do the work for us. We can work in the boundary lines of your place. Or we can step out. All the way out...

Into The Understory
Everything leads to this. Small groups. Camping, trekking and wondering at the crossroads.
Forest, moors and firesides: 4 days.
This is the full sense of Recalling Fire.
Fall into the forest. Not just to experience the resin scent of the pine and the woodpecker’s rattle, but to steep in story, to come back to your body and your breath and your voice.
This is a chance to disassociate with the tensions and all the things building up in your close relationships – with parents, lovers, colleagues, friends – to ‘be’ in a different way.
The land is available to us. Our fires are lying dormant in the dry wood of fallen branches. The wisdom of our forebears waits for us in the pages and the songs.
We will need time. We will need night and day. We will need whatever the clouds and stars and the riverbanks give us. We will need to listen to the land.
Limited spaces. Sign up to receive news of availaiblity.
We'll pull up water from the streams and sit until the fire burns low.
