Christian story retreat comes to South Norfolk
 A storytelling retreat is coming to South Norfolk run by a group of Christian artists who work to revive the lost art of oral Biblical storytelling.
The Credo Storytellers are delivering a Story Retreat at All Saints Barn near Diss from Friday 9 - Sunday 11 September where people of all ages can enjoy workshops, walks, free time, prayer and storytelling.
The training will be led by Neil Ruckman and Shan Stephens who believe that the oral tradition of storytelling is the best communication available - as it is face to face and offers a key to a deep appreciation of what it means to be huma  n. The Credo Storytellers have worked in schools, prisons, community centres, churches, pubs, small theatres, campsites, festivals and successfully ran a storytelling cafe over a four year period.
Bookings are being taken for the whole weekend or for day visitors.
