This in person retreat will be held on the June 15th – 19th, in Brú Moytura Sligo as part of a wider facilitators training for those who feel called to work with young people, guiding them in emotional resilience, confidence and authentic self-expression.
Across a 7-week live online training lead by Cormac Noonan, Wolf Academy’s founder, and a 4-day in-person retreat in Sligo, where Aron Hegarty will help lead the storytelling pillar of the programme, bringing over a decade of experience as a professional performer, educator and co-founder of Candlelit Tales.

At the in-person retreat, Aron will also guide a fireside storytelling circle, where participants step fully into their voice in a supportive, immersive setting.
Alongside storytelling, the training equips facilitators to deliver workshops and mentoring circles for students aged 9–18, focused on emotional resilience, identity, responsibility and wellbeing, as well as teacher wellness sessions.
