CAMPFIRE STORIES

Campfire Stories hosts events and workshops designed to help us reconnect with ourselves, one another, the world around us and the things that make us feel good in life. Let’s build connection, find perspective and feel restored. 

In today’s busy world, Campfire Stories events and workshops offer respite from the hustle and bustle and give us space to unwind, slow down, explore our curiosities, learn new skills, work with our hands, feel re-energised, take on new challenges and have meaningful conversations and memorable experiences.   

ABOUT US

Our events and experiences will have you feeling energised, inspired and nourished. How do we do this? We take you out into nature where our minds can quieten and bodies recalibrate. We invite skilled storytellers, craftspeople, changemakers and creative doers and thinkers to share their stories and skills with you. We feed you honest food that connects us to the land, our bodies and one another through shared meals. And of course, there are campfires – places to tell tales, stay warm and make memories by. Press pause! And let’s play!

Our values

Our events are an ode to the simple life, with every aspect considered to deliver an incredible experience while lessening our environmental impact. We know that our wellbeing is inextricably linked to the health of our environment, and when we are better connected to nature, we make choices that are healthier for us and the planet. This sits front and centre of our business decisions. We’re not saying we are perfect – but we are learning.

What People Are Saying

“We haven’t attended another festival or event where there has been such a high level of congruence between the practical execution and the values the event is promoting.”

— Rupert.

“The experience of Campfire Stories was amazing. I met amazing people, heard incredibly inspiring stories, ate fresh and local food cooked over fire, submerged myself in learning to breathe to warm the body followed by a plunge in an ice bath. I loved the emphasis on nature and friendship. I really like that the festival feels small and a bit “boutique” and I left having made lifelong friends.”

— Lottie.

“Campfire Stories is the active short vacation that you didn’t realise you needed! There’s something for everyone; activities for the mind and body and just for fun. Amazing food, very decent wines and interesting people! And next to that, your mind is completely refreshed after spending a few days outside in amazing surroundings.”

— Laura.
