Stories create a light around which we can gather. They offer warmth and inspiration. In old Scotland, the hearth was the gathering place in the centre of the home. The place to circle around, draw nourishment and share your gifts. In Scotland, this ‘hearthside’ tradition of storytelling still echoes through contemporary story performance.
The purpose of this storytelling tour is to share old tales from Scotland: Ancient myths of supernatural creatures and clan ore, of wild places and poetic people. The live telling of these tales offers reconnection to ancestral culture and presents story as a pathway back to indigenous thinking in the wilds of northern Europe.

What can I expect?
A Scottish mythopoetic retreat
Are you yearning to steep in the wisdom traditions of old Europe? Take a deep dive into the mythopoetic ancestral waters of Scottish storytelling culture with Dougie Mackay.
This retreat offers a four day immersive experience into Celtic myth and Scottish storytelling culture. Combining many years of storytelling experience, group-work facilitation, and mentored by some of Scotland’s finest ‘seanachies’, Dougie will create a potent space for gleaning the medicine of ancient tales to support us in the turbulence of the modern world.
This is a rare opportunity to work with Dougie on the West Coast of Canada before he returns to Scotland.
