The Chanterelle Philosophy

Like a chanterelle mushroom emerging from rich forest soil, every life holds stories waiting to be discovered. Beneath our daily experiences runs a vast network of connections, memories, and meaning—much like the mycelial threads that weave through woodland earth, connecting trees in an invisible web of communication and nurturing.

At Chanterelle Story Studio, we create space for these stories to surface naturally. Through guided writing experiences, intimate retreats, and thoughtful prompts, we help you explore the rich underground of your experiences. No writing experience needed—only curiosity and a willingness to wonder.

Our Approach

We believe writing is most powerful when it grows organically from your lived experience. Much like foraging, the process requires patience, gentle attention, and trust that you will learn to understand what emerges. Sometimes the most precious discoveries appear in unexpected places.

In our workshops and retreats, you'll:

• Explore emotional landscapes through creative writing exercises

• Connect with others in a judgment-free environment

• Discover the power of writing for self-discovery

• Learn to trust your unique voice and perspective

• Experience the gift of vulnerable, authentic sharing

Our Core Beliefs

• Your writing is for you. Write without judgment.

• Others' writing is for them. Listen without judgment.

• There is no wrong way to write your story.

• It's perfectly fine to write for an audience of one—yourself.

• Leave people-pleasing at the door.

• Vulnerability is a gift to yourself and others.
