Description
Join us on Sunday, April 26th for a Storytelling Workshop “The Modern Ceilidh – Gathering, Story and Shared Voice” with Storyteller Calum Lykan.
Have you ever sat in a room full of people… and felt strangely alone?
In an age of endless screens, constant noise, and hurried conversation, genuine human connection can feel rare.
There was a time when stories weren’t content. They were currency. Before stages. Before microphones. Before anyone thought to “monetize” a voice. In the kitchens and crofts of Scotland, communities gathered around a fire and practiced something radical:
They listened to one another. That gathering was called a ceilidh. Not a dance. Not a spectacle. A visit. A circle.
An agreement that everyone who walked through the door brought something with them — a song, a memory, a laugh, or simply the gift of attention.
This workshop revives the tradition for the modern world.
The Modern Ceilidh invites participants to step into a living storytelling circle — rediscovering the ancient power of story to connect, inspire, and remind us that every voice carries meaning.
This is not a lecture.
It is not a performance.
It is an experience.
