A Storytelling Journey in Edinburgh: Tales Across Borders
A transformative storytelling workshop celebrating heritage, identity, and healing through personal and ancestral narratives
Why should you care about storytelling? Because stories shape us. They’re how we understand the world, make sense of our past, and imagine a different future. Yet so many of us carry around inherited stories that are heavy, outdated, or simply not ours — and we rarely get a chance to pause and ask: Whose story am I living?
This FREE workshop — sponsored by Edinburgh Council as part of Edinburgh 900 — invites you to do just that.
Through a mix of gentle guidance, hands-on exercises, and open sharing, we’ll explore:
The different types of stories we tell (and hide) about ourselves
How cultural, ancestral, and personal narratives shape our identity
How to listen to the stories your body and intuition have been holding
And how to reclaim your voice and reshape your narrative in empowering ways
You’ll be guided through reflective prompts, embodied storytelling techniques, and creative exercises that help you reconnect with your authentic self. This is not a talk or lecture — it’s a space to experience storytelling in community.
