We spend much of our lives managing many roles - professional, partner, parent, friend, child, caregiver, achiever.
And somewhere along the way, the stories attached to those roles can become indistinguishable from who we are.
A change of surroundings can sometimes give us the distance to notice what everyday life makes difficult to see.
Day 1 — The Stories We Carry
Session 1. The Story Starts Here
An unconventional icebreaker using objects, images and personal stories to look beyond introductions and job titles.
Session 2. The Stories We Tell Ourselves About Ourselves
A prompt-led exploration of the labels, identities and narratives we have accumulated.
Session 3. Music, Visuals & Memory
What can a song, photograph or image unlock that words sometimes cannot? Explore the connection between memory, emotion and the stories we carry.
Session 4. Attention, Presence & Sensory Awareness
Begin the morning with gentle movement and a sensory walk through the village, followed by conversations about attention, memory and being present to everyday life.
Session 5. Storytelling & Emotional Wellbeing
Learn a simple storytelling framework and explore what it means to tell a story and to be truly heard without someone trying to fix it.
Session 6. The Person Behind the Roles
Look beyond the roles you play in everyday life through identity mapping, reflection and an experiential outdoor activity.
Session
7. Stories Between Us
A paired storytelling experience built around curious listening, connection and the stories that emerge when we make space for another person's experience.
Session 8. An Evening Game About Perspective
A playful exploration of how differently we can interpret the very same event.
Session
9. The Story I Take Home
A closing circle and integration experience to reflect on the three days, what you've discovered and the story you want to carry forward.
This experience is for you if you:
Smitha Murthy
Co-founder
Smitha Murthy is the co-founder of MyndStories, India's first content-led mental health platform, built around a simple belief: that stories can help us understand ourselves and one another a little better.
This is not a therapy retreat.
The sessions are designed around storytelling, reflection, conversation, creativity and wellbeing. You will always have a choice about what you share. You don't need to disclose personal or difficult experiences to participate meaningfully.
