Hello dear Ones, πŸ’š as we approach the wonder of the Winter Solstice I want to draw your attention to a bevy of magical events I have organised for what promises to be a truly special Solstice Weekend. (Fri 19th - Sun 21st).

All the events are taking place in Bossington's Methodist Chapel, at the foot of Bossington Hill. This is a beautiful, cosy space with a Ley Line running right through it, bringing even more magical energy!

Beginning with a relaxing new moon sound bath on Friday evening from 7pm – 8.15pm, there will then be a session of traditional storytelling (all ages welcome) on Saturday at midday. This is followed by an afternoon of β€˜vision board’ creation – where we each envision what we want the future and new year to look like and using pictures and words from magazines create our own individual vision boards (all materials provided) . For those who feel like stepping away from the old and into the new, there is then an overnight session on Solstice eve where folk will bring a bed roll, pillow, duvet and toothbrush and be lulled to sleep with the gongs and will awaken to the gongs on Sunday morning followed by breakfast. Finally, there is a sound bath at 3pm on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the return of the sun and this magical time of year.

All events, timings and details can be found at: https://www.sound-well.co.uk/experiences/events and if folk have any questions, you are welcome to ping me a message or email. And if you can't make it, please share this with your friends and family - especially the storytelling when family and groups of x4 can attend for the festive exchange of just, Β£10! πŸ™πŸ’«πŸ™

An extraordinary story, reminding us of how extraordinary we are. πŸ’š

An extraordinary story, reminding us of how extraordinary we are. πŸ’š

In November 1998, Karl Bushby, a 29-year-old former British paratrooper, set out from the southern tip of Chile with a simple but extraordinary goal: to walk home to Hull, England. He had just $500 in his pocket and no shortcuts allowed. Over the next 27 years, he traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, four continents, and countless obstacles, facing jungles, deserts, ice, and political barriers, all while relying on his own feet to carry him forward.

Bushby’s journey tested the limits of endurance, patience, and problem-solving. He hacked through the dangerous DariΓ©n Gap, crossed the frozen Arctic to reach Russia, and even swam 288 kilometers across the Caspian Sea with support teams. Bureaucracy, financial crises, pandemics, and visa restrictions slowed him, but he never abandoned his mission. Each challenge required ingenuity, planning, and resilience, proving that determination can overcome nearly any obstacle.

After more than 47,000 kilometers and 25 countries, Bushby is now walking through Europe, just 1,500 kilometers from Hull. His journey is a testament not only to physical endurance but to the human spirit, showing that long-term goals demand patience, discipline, and faith in the goodness of others. Along the way, he discovered that most people he met offered help and kindness, reminding the world that persistence and curiosity often reveal humanity at its best.

Living our stories and having the freedom to do so...

In Minnesota, police arrested a man after he took his terminally ill wife out of a nursing home to celebrate her final hours with what he called a β€œdeath party.” The act shocked authorities and the local community because it defied conventional expectations of a quiet, medically supervised end-of-life experience. The man’s actions were viewed as illegal, but they also reflected a deep desire to give his wife a memorable final night on her own terms.

During the party, the couple reportedly listened to heavy metal music, used drugs, and spent their remaining hours together in a way that reflected her personal wishes. Friends and family later described it as a wild and unconventional celebration of life, showing how the couple wanted to live those last moments fully, rather than quietly succumbing to illness in a clinical setting.

The incident sparked discussions about autonomy, personal choice, and the ethics of end-of-life care. While authorities emphasized the legal consequences, many observers recognized the act as a form of compassion and devotion. It highlighted the tension between societal rules and honoring the individual desires of someone facing the end of life.

Our Story

Story-Well is a wellbeing service. Promoting relaxation, meaningful engagement and healing on all levels I use sound and vibration to encourage vibrational re-alignment by playing the gongs and telling traditional stories.

Using sound to promote relaxation it becomes possible to relieve stress, clear mental/physical/emotional blockages and boost the immune system. The more relaxed we are the more we allow our bodies in both the physical and non-physical sense to re-discover a sense of balance. Health improves and our creativity flourishes.

Working across Health, Community, Education and Business settings using some of the world's oldest narratives to inspire imagination I offer a simple yet powerful way to explore human nature -as well as core values such as loyalty and courage. Groups are encouraged to practice listening skills whilst exploring all kinds of themes and issues, including some of life's more challenging ones!

I also offer Gongbaths for groups and individuals. The Gongs are powerful instruments and invaluable tools for stress reduction & personal transformation. The sound of the Gong is organic, deep and nurturing. The β€œliving tones” build upon each other and evolve on their own, producing a sea of sound that is both timeless and alive. Through this experience, tensions are released, blockages cleared and the mind is able to stop its chattering.
