Storytelling in Nature

Barbara van den Bogaard

August 5, 2024

One day of storytelling and listening in a beautiful place in nature
Facilitated by Barbara van den Bogaard

Imagine restoring connection to your inner stories, your inner nature and the forest, the trees, the plants, the water that surrounds us, nourishing us. A workshop that is facilitated in a beautiful space in nature where slowing down, meditation, free writing, listening, sharing of stories and a walk in nature are all part of the one-day experience.

For who
Are you curious to your own stories and the stories of your ancestors and how they can become and be part of your life? This day is for people who wish to experience the art of expressing your own stories in different ways. For people who wish to be in nature, restoring your connection to your inner nature and the nature that surrounds you. For people that wish to rest a little, be in silence and practice the art of storytelling and listening.

I also bring in inspiration for creating a practice around the qualities of storytelling, writing, listening and sharing and expressing stories so that creativity might become part of your daily life.

Storybook

After you have registered for this one-day immersion in stories and nature, you will receive Storybook. Storybook is published by Global Storytellers in 2022 and holds space for 30 artists from around the world and their stories in their own unique expression. 

You can journey through this book, read it and you can write and/or draw, paint in it. Or you can bring in photos or other things that are important to you. You can entrust thoughts that come to mind to the paper. Questions you have about your (working) life and the things you encounter, they are all welcome on the pages of Storybook. As mentioned, Storybook is your personal workbook during the one-day event and who knows, maybe also afterwards.

Meet

Barbara van den Bogaard

I have been working in communication, film and storytelling for over 20 years. I graduated as a dramaturge from the University of Utrecht and developed into a passionate filmmaker and interviewer. As a result, I discovered the challenging issues that the current time brings when it comes to the stories we tell and listen to. I work on all kinds of ways and means in which stories can find a way into our worldly societies. My experience shows that connection to our personal stories can be changemakers in the lives of the individual, of the group and of the world as a whole. The daily walks I have with my dog in the forest connect me to the many living creatures that surround us, nourishing us, allowing us to breath and live healthy lives. The healing and enriching experiences I have while being in the forest, have become a natural part of my work with groups and individuals in storytelling and listening.
