Storytelling Beyond Dominant Paradigms: Embodied Narratives and Nature's Language
Storytelling fundamentally shapes how we make sense of the world—it influences our identities, relationships, and how we understand reality itself. Stories aren't just entertainment; they're powerful tools that create meaning and drive action.
Today's marketing and brand storytelling often reflect mechanistic worldviews disconnected from our bodies and the natural world. By reconnecting with embodied wisdom and nature's language, we can access deeper forms of communication that regenerate rather than extract.
WE'LL EXPLORE
👉 Embodied metaphors, how our physical experiences shape understanding and how we can create narratives that resonate at a bodily level.
👉 Decolonising narrative, moving beyond dominant cultural paradigms to honour diverse ways of knowing and communicating.
👉 The language of nature, learning from ecosystems, seasons, and living systems to transform how we communicate.
👉 Storytelling at the crossroads, where philosophy, language, and marketing meet when viewed through a regenerative lens.

WHAT TO EXPECT
An intimate fireside conversation that invites you to experience storytelling with your whole being. Our speakers will guide an exploration of narrative as a living practice, one that moves beyond marketing trends to tap into the wisdom of embodiment, the rhythms of nature, and the power of stories to heal, connect, and transform.
WHY THIS MATTERS
We're creating a space for:
🌱 Narrative transformation: Discover storytelling approaches that heal rather than extract, connecting audiences through shared meaning.
🌊 Nature's wisdom: Experience how metaphors from living systems create deeper resonance and meaning.
🧠 Cross-disciplinary learning: Gain fresh insights by engaging with diverse expertise, lived experiences, and cultural perspectives.
WHO SHOULD JOIN
We're inviting storytellers, brand strategists, marketing professionals, entrepreneurs, philosophers, ecologists, indigenous knowledge keepers, bodyworkers, linguists, and anyone interested in the intersection of narrative, embodiment, and nature. No formal storytelling experience required, we believe diverse perspectives will enrich our conversations.
Join us for a transformative conversation that challenges conventional storytelling and offers a new way forward—one that is deeply felt, lived, and connected to the natural world.

"A stimulating “safe place” to share, be heard, listen and learn. Plenty of people from different perspectives to shake up the conversation and create learning opportunities." - Gwyn Jones
"I felt truly inspired after this session! 😍 Thank you for creating these spaces to connect with leaders who are rethinking business models. It really shifted my perspective on the responsibility we have as marketers to remain transparent and true to the core essence of our businesses. I loved hearing the diverse perspectives and exploring new approaches to driving meaningful change. This conversation genuinely opened my eyes! I’m excited to continue learning and connecting with others who share this vision." - Michelle Guzman Murphy"This was a refreshing discussion! I found the speakers had developed insights that were very inspirational. I love when people are willing to share their discoveries willingly and open to further development of it all. So often people are working with a surface perspective.The self awareness in this group was obvious to me and I think this is so much more productive moving forward in the complexity of today's world. None of this is easy to navigate. Thanks for the invite. Lots of food for thought!" - Patti Beer
