What is Going Deep? The Going Deep Long Traditional Story Retreat is a feast of stories and workshops. Unlike most storytelling events, we present stories that are at least an hour long each.
What is the format of Going Deep? Each evening we enjoy a performance of a long traditional story. After the story, participants gather for dessert and relaxed conversation. The next morning, the storyteller gives a workshop about the story. Workshops may focus on process of learning and telling long stories, archetypal themes in the story, personal connections with the stories, or other topics.
Afternoons are unscheduled, with opportunities for storytelling coaching, palm reading, massages and art activities (an extra fee may be charged).
What is the time frame of the retreat? We begin at supper on Thursday evening and finish after lunch on Sunday afternoon.
How much does Going Deep cost? Registration is $550 until February 15, $600 after that date.
What does the registration cost include? Registration includes all three performances, workshops following each performance, three night’s accommodation (shared and single rooms) and all meals from Thursday evening to Sunday noon.
Where is Going Deep held? Going Deep is held at the Storyteller’s Riverhouse Bed and Breakfast, and nearby houses, in Bethlehem, IN, about 45 minutes north of Louisville, KY. Consult Cynthia Changaris for transportation logistics.
