story weaving
Once a month we gather to share stories, make things with our hands, and spend time in the company of other women and people who connect with their feminine energy. Inspired by traditions of gathering to craft, telling stories and passing knowledge between generations, this is a space to reconnect with that simple kind of togetherness.
The first hour is for stories.
Around a different prompts each month, we’ll share personal stories, memories or anecdotes from our (chosen) families. We’ll listen for the threads connecting our experiences and see what stories emerge when we weave them together.
The second hour is for making.
There will be crafting and painting materials available, but you’re also welcome to bring your own project. Create something inspired by the stories we shared, pick up something new, or simply continue your crochet, knitting or whatever you’re currently making.
At its heart, this event is about connection. About sharing what we have experienced, what has been passed down to us, and finding strength in what we have in common.
You don't have to be an experienced storyteller to attend; just a human who is willing to tell and listen. Bring your hands, your ears, and whatever stories you carry with you.

the heroine's journey - (re)write your life story
What if you could look at your life as a story, and discover a new perspective on the path you’ve travelled?
In this two hour self exploration workshop, we’ll explore Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, an archetypal storytelling structure inspired by ancient mythology and by Murdock’s work with women in her therapeutic practice.
The Heroine’s Journey offers an alternative to the familiar hero’s journey of going outwards, leaving home, facing challenges and striving for success. It explores an internal journey and themes of identity, achievement, connection and coming home to yourself.
The journey is an inspiration, not a formula. Our lives are rarely as neat as a story structure, but looking at them through an archetypal lens can open up new perspectives. You may recognise parts of your own journey, see connections you hadn’t noticed before, or find new possibilities for where your story could go.
Through guided reflection, journaling and gentle exchange with others, you’ll have space to explore your own story, where you might be on the journey, and what you might be moving towards. No writing experience is needed. This is a space for curiosity, reflection and self discovery, where storytelling becomes a way to see your own life from a different angle.
Come explore your story, reconnect with what matters to you, and discover what might be waiting on the next part of your journey.

meet your anger
Two hours of rage, release, reflection & sisterhood
"It is literally impossible to be a woman.”
Gloria, Barbie
To be strong, but not intimidating. To speak up, but not be difficult. To feel deeply, but not be “too much”. To be angry, but never make anyone uncomfortable with it.
What if, for two hours, we stopped trying to make our anger comfortable for everyone else?
Meeting Your Inner Rage is a two hour workshop for women and people who identify with feminine energy. A space to meet anger safely, whether you struggle to access it, carry a lot of it, or simply want to explore it together with others.
We’ll explore what we’re angry about, give it space to be felt and heard, and ask what it might be trying to tell us.
And then we’ll look beyond the anger. What has everything we’ve been through taught us? What strength have we found despite it? What do we want to take with us from here?
Through reflection, writing, ritual and creative practices, we’ll make space for both the anger and everything that comes after it.
You might leave feeling a little lighter. More connected to yourself and to the people around you. You might discover that underneath the anger there is a boundary, a desire, a voice or a strength that wants to be acknowledged.
And you won’t have to do it alone. We’ll hold space for each other, find connection and create a little sisterhood along the way.
And yes, it’s going to be a little witchy.
Expect some ritual, symbolism, intuition and a little bit of magic. Nothing too serious, nothing you have to believe in. Just a different way of exploring what we often push aside.
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter, a little more connected, and hopefully a little more in touch with your own strength.

the heroine’s journey: a different way to improvise a story
What happens when we tell stories beyond the traditional hero’s journey?
In this three hour improv theatre workshop, we’ll explore Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, an archetypal storytelling structure inspired by mythology and Murdock’s work with women. It offers a different way of thinking about character and transformation, focusing on the female journey as an inward one and ultimately on the search for greater wholeness.
Together, we’ll discover the journey by playing with it. You’ll take a character through her own Heroine’s Journey, experiment with its different stages and use improvisation to explore what happens when the story is driven by inner transformation rather than external goals.
We’ll also look at how these kinds of stories appear in contemporary films and popular culture, and use them as inspiration for our own storytelling. Along the way, we’ll play with characters, relationships and scenes, discovering how a different narrative structure can open up new possibilities on stage.
This workshop is for improvisers who want to expand their storytelling repertoire, explore new structures and discover different ways of creating compelling stories. You might be curious about female perspectives in storytelling, looking for alternatives to familiar narrative patterns, or simply excited to play with a new way of building a story.
No prior knowledge of the Hero’s Journey or the Heroine’s Journey is needed. You don’t need to identify as a woman either — curiosity and a willingness to play are enough. Experience in improvisational theatre beyond beginner level is strongly advised.
Come explore a different map for storytelling, and see where it takes you.
