Tristan and Isolde: Daring to love your own story
With Sam Crosby and Alys Harwood
May 14 - 17, 2026
What if you could stop second guessing yourself?
After four days, you’ll leave knowing how to trust yourself at the threshold, no longer waiting for permission. Bold steps forward.

A wild, unruly immersion into myth, nature and courage in a cottage surrounded by ancient oaks, on the banks of the River Fal, Cornwall.
Thursday 14th – Sunday 17th May 2026, Cornwall
