The Stories We Tell
personal insight workshops with
JAMIE& SARAH JAUNCEY
“Thank you so very much for one of the most insightful weekends I have ever had.”
Miranda McHardy, Counsellor
The Stories We Tell workshops are neither creative writing workshops, nor therapy groups, but something unique and (people say) magical in between!
They're about how telling, or re-telling, your life's stories can offer insights that allow you to make the most of yourself and your life. They're about finding the connection, direction, creativity and purpose that lead to greater wellbeing. And they're about moving forward more easily and living your life more fully.

Today she works with individuals and couples in private practice. She has previously worked in the NHS. Sarah is an integrative counsellor, using a number of different approaches in her work. A COSCA accredited trainer in counselling skills, and an accredited member of BACP, she is also a qualified yoga teacher.

We're glad to be running this popular weekend here in Birnam again.
Writing From The Heart
7 - 9 March 2025
Writing can be a wonderful way to explore the inner and outer connections that help you find real meaning and speak your personal truths.
On this week we invite you to write about what matters most to you—the people, places and events, the thoughts, ideas and feelings that make you who you really are.
You don't need to think of yourself as a writer to take part in this weekend and find your authentic writing voice!
We'll use a variety of creative exercises, along with some therapeutic tools, to help you reach a clearer vision of the things that really matter to you, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself, your purpose and natural creativity.
Friday 2.00 - 5.00
Saturday 10.00 - 5.00
Sunday 10.00 - 4.00
Price: £350
Venue: Birnam Arts, Birnam, Perthshire, PH8 0DS
Refreshments are provided and Birnam Arts has an excellent cafe for lunch. Birnam & Dunkeld is a major visitor centre and there's a wide range of accommodation available, from 4-star hotels to AirBnBs.
