More Than a Workshop

A travel storytelling intensive

Travel changes us. But without intention, most of those experiences fade into photos, memories, and unfinished journal pages.

This workshop offers a structured, supportive process for transforming travel into story.

Over five full days, participants move through the full storytelling arc:
   • Noticing meaningful moments in place
   • Exploring narrative structure and voice
   • Drafting and revising in real time

   • Preparing a short story for sharing

​This is not a retreat and not a tour. It is a guided, beginner-friendly creative intensive rooted in place, reflection, and craft.

Why Granada?

Granada is one of Spain's most storied cities, layered with history and atmosphere.

It is an ideal setting for curious travelers to explore the intersection of place and story. 

Granada offers a rich and layered environment for story-noticing.


Historic neighborhoods, daily rhythms, architecture, and cultural traditions create an ideal setting for place-based writing and reflection.

 

Throughout the week, participants engage with the city through curated excursions designed to generate material and deepen attention.
