The Story Gathering: Chapter 4 | Bristol

Location: Eastside Community Centre
Doors Open: 10:30 am | Event Starts: 11:00 am | Lunch: 1:00 pm | Finish: 5:00 pm
Join us for The Story Gathering, a day of connection, creativity, and inspiration as we explore Stories of the Land. This event invites you to reflect on resilience, joy, and the power of storytelling to shape a regenerative and just future.
This is the final Story Gathering of 2024, following sold-out events in Winchester, Soho, and Leeds. The day draws inspiration from Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects, creating a space to honour all emotions—connection, sadness, confusion, and hope.
What to Expect
This is an interactive event where participation is encouraged, though all activities are optional.
Folk Tales: Storytellers Mica Sinclair and Kabbo Hue Ferdinand share tales that blend the wisdom of the past with today’s aspirations.
Soil & Nutrition Workshop: Matthew Adams from Growing Real Food for Nutrition CIC (GRFFN) will explore soil health, regenerative agriculture, and how food connects us to the Earth.
Live Singing: Led by choir leader Pearl Love, uplift your spirit with group singing that builds joy and community.
Hot Lunch (1:00 pm)
Enjoy a nourishing Ethiopian meal with vegan options, made from sustainably sourced ingredients.
Film Screening: Watch a short film by the British Mountaineering Council on community resilience and justice.
Closing Reflection (4:30 pm) Together, we’ll acknowledge shared emotions and imagine ways forward as a community.
