Storytelling for Restoration and Connection

Name: Storytelling for Restoration and Connection
Start: 2026-03-13T16:00:00+01:00
End: 2026-03-13T16:00:00+01:00
Location: Rookhow

A creative development weekend for adults involved or interested in peace and reconciliation, restorative practice and community building with Hannah Moore, storyteller supported by Sue Nicholls. Exploring storytelling as a powerful ingredient for peace and reconciliation work and for bringing people together.

Drawing on tales that carry themes of restoration, reconciliation, healing and understanding, the weekend will explore how traditional stories help us, as peace-workers, reconcilers, facilitators, people of faith, community builders and leaders to develop our understanding of ourselves and others.

The programme recognises that, in working for peace and reconciliation, one of the most powerful instruments we have is ourselves – our self-awareness, and how we live and model our values, so the weekend will include lots of opportunities to start with your own experience and expand out from there to explore the wider picture: interpersonal, communal, global.
