About this Event

We all carry stories inside us - memories that take root, grow, and shape who we are.

Inspired by the Festival of Flowers, this interactive workshop invites you to shape a biographical story rooted in nature, growth, or connection, prompted by memories of trees, flowers, plants and the natural world around us.

Award-winning storyteller and author Danyah Miller will help you uncover memories, shift perspective, and shape your experiences into a ‘story gift’.

Whether you want to perform, write, honour a loved one, share a biographical story with family and friends, or explore your own connection to nature, this workshop is for you.

Discover the power of your own voice. Come as you are, and leave with a story only you can tell.

Tickets include drinks and a delicious Fernleigh lunch.
