Stories of the Journey Home presents
Storytelling for the Spiritual Journey

The Man with Empty Hands features a King overwhelmed by the demands of ruling his Kingdom; a carpenter losing touch with his love for his craft; and a fisherman who rows into the centre of a lake one morning to find a huge golden fish swimming beneath his boat.

Storytelling has the power to draw us into deep soul-enquiry, using symbol and metaphor to allow us to dream big. This story will explore the theme of self-acceptance.

How much do you accept yourself?
Have you twisted yourself out of shape to gain other people's acceptance?
We all do it, the question is how to recover those parts of ourselves that we've pushed into the shadows.

This story takes a deep dive into the theme of self-acceptance.
The more we accept ourselves, the more we can open to our divine potential.
Our true nature shines forth when we are meticulously loving and kind towards ourselves.

Feedback from our last storytelling show for adults at The Dragon Sanctuary
I was blown away by the story, it was magical. I was spellbound, and feel myself in this moment completely transformed by it. I don't know where that will take me. The words and music wove in so beautifully together, the setting also really helped – I was transported somewhere else…. and it was very healing. I left feeling so inspired and uplifted. The evening reconnected me with that impulse to surrender and let spirit carry me.
