“I left under a spell of catharsis and hugged a stranger”

—Peter Crawley, The Sunday Times

You enter a private booth, alone. Someone else enters next door.

Guided by light, sound, and a shared hymn sheet, you tell a story together about change, loss, and redemption.

A contemporary confessional for the modern sinner, this interactive one-to-one experience cultivates space for intimate conversations among friends and strangers, rethreading the seams of our social fabric one good yarn at a time.
