The Experience
"Rewrite the Narrative" is a hybrid space between retreat, creative residency and conscious co-living.
We live together, practise together, spend time in nature, and gather around shared dinners prepared with care. Across the two weeks, six three-hour sessions with me take you from the foundations of Conscious Storytelling into the practical and personal art of rewriting your own narrative; creative, personal, or both.
The days offer enough structure to create meaningful transformation, while leaving space for calm, integration, writing, rest, remote work, long walks, and genuine connection.
This experience is for people who long for depth, connection and spaciousness: thoughtful facilitation, the peace of being close to nature, and the simple experience of sharing everyday life with others who care about the stories we tell and the lives and futures we create through them.
The Journey to a New Story
Weekly Structure
Week 1 – The Stories We Live By
We begin by exploring the heart of the Conscious Storytelling Method: intentionality, empathy, authenticity, the character’s transformational journey, nature as teacher, and the movement from narratives of separation and fear toward stories of connection, belonging and unity.
Through reflection, conversation and practical storytelling tools, you start to recognise the stories you have been living, and the stories you have been telling, with new clarity. What patterns are you repeating? What no longer belongs to you? And what kind of story do you want to create instead?
Week 2 - Rewrite Your Story
In the second week, awareness turns into practice.
Using the tools and frameworks of Conscious Storytelling, you explore personal and creative narratives, uncover limiting plots and inherited patterns, and begin shaping new stories that feel more truthful, connected and aligned with who you are becoming and with the contribution you want to make in the world.
Across both weeks, you receive six three-hour workshop sessions with Kiki, three each week, held within the gentle rhythm of mindful mornings, time in nature, spacious afternoons and shared evening meals.
Daily Rhythm:
Each morning we offer a gentle, mindful start to the day. This may include light movement, meditation, or short hikes in nature, depending on the energy of the group and the weather. The emphasis is on arriving in the body and settling into the day together.

Who It’s For:
This residency is for you if you feel called to grow, as a storyteller, as a creative person, and in the way you live your life.
You may be curious about the Conscious Storytelling Method and want to explore how the stories we tell shape the way we see ourselves, one another, and the world. You may feel a desire to bring more purpose, meaning and intention into your creative work or your personal life. Or perhaps you simply long for two weeks of space, nature, reflection, play and genuine connection with an international community of creative, curious and conscious people.
No previous writing or creative experience is required. Rewrite the Narrative is open to anyone who brings curiosity, openness, a willingness to look honestly at the stories they carry, and a desire to experience living and creating in community.
Who It’s Not For
Those seeking a silent intensive, a luxury spa experience, or a completely unstructured digital-nomad stay. This is a middle path: enough structure to transform, enough freedom and human connection to integrate.
