About this Event
It may be that you have had an event, challenges or miracles in your life that have shaped you and your decisions, indeed your lifepath. It may well be that such a story has not been spoken aloud by you to others. This workshop is about you and your daring to say what to date has been largely wordless. It's about how good it is to be you in the world (while remaining humble of course!). It might be a small incident.
This workshop is about a celebratory story about you and your life. Even if it has been told before, it may be worth telling again with verve.
Is it a time for you to become a storyteller of such an event?
Join storyteller and artist Alexander Mackenzie in a 6-week experiential adventure of discovering storytelling, candid sharing, deep listening and renewed appreciation of your life.
Weekly on Monday, 9am-12pm. 6-week series: 4th May, 11 May, 18 May, 1 June, 8 June, 15 June 2026
