'Some insights of our human
heart are so deep that only a
story can help us bring them
home to ourselves and share
them with others.'

On 28th June the installation opened and over 50 visitors travelled through, guided by the storytravelling team. The journey took visitors through a landscape of story, weaving and connection.
6 days earlier on a breezy day in June, the team of storytravellers had journeyed to the four corners of Devon to meet with people from EDP Drug and Alcohol Services. With generosity and humour those we interviewed shared stories of big decisions and important events, of small moments long forgotten, of times of despair and gratitude, of people who were there. Edited by the storytravelling team, their words are offered back as guidance, as stimulus to re-discovery of our own moments of challenge and change.
