STATUS UPDATE

The work around the READER is already very advanced, and we are overwhelmed by wonderful and diverse contributions from all over the world. Surprise: It looks like our HEAR & NOW is not only being read poetically, but is reclaiming its sociopolitical dimension. WOW!

At the same time the preparations of the StoryCamp are already in dialogue with grafix. As you can see.

VALLEY [faˈlaɪ] (probably from Fallada, a Celtic goddess) is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Miesbach. But what is the place about? It is primarly a beguiling constellation of a castle, an organ museum, a brewery, a wooden sound miracle and a wonderful river, the Mangfall. And in between the famous Michael Ende wrote his “Neverending Story” – more details when we meet there.


When the past is like a monster,
and the future is vanishing –
presence is our preferred state.
— our story mantra for 2024

What PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT OUR STORYCAMPS …

“This has never happened to me before! That I come back from a multi-day workshop and a more than 10-hour journey home with more energy than I left. The camp was the best in a long time, the perfect setting, the great open structure, the insanely interesting people, the food, simply everything ....!”

“It was rejuvenating. Mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Special: The select group of people, wonderful facilitation, openness. Learn: how to better interact with others, how to think around stories (personal and organizational alike).”

“The Camp was bliss, friendship, and soul exchange. The fabulous hosting made it special, as well as the splendid location. I learned a lot about the art of hosting, the magic of the group, and the power of a safe, mindful space, and the right mix between inspiration, reflexion, and relaxation.
