On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, My LifeJars announced the launch of their immersive Life Story Workshop Retreats 25/26. This retreat aims to assist individuals in capturing their personal stories through their own words, photos, and voice.
The inaugural weekend will take place on November 28, 2025 at the historic Litton Mill in the Peak District, Derbyshire. My LifeJars, a company known for their innovative and compassionate approach to organizing and preserving important documents and memories, was founded by Suke Ridler.
The Life Story Workshop Retreat, limited to only eight participants, promises a transformational experience for those looking to write, tell, and capture their life stories with confidence and heart. The retreat will be led by wellbeing writer and journalling coach Anna Woolliscroft, along with My LifeJars founder Suke Ridler. Ridler, who has had a near-death experience, is passionate about helping others preserve what matters most to them.
According to Ridler, the retreat is more than just a writing workshop. “It’s about reflection, connection, and our life,” she says. The goal is to bring memories to life through words, photos, and even video, so that an individual’s story, voice, and wisdom can live on for future generations.
Participants of the retreat can expect creative sessions, local walks, delicious meals, and a filmed storytelling segment that will serve as a keepsake for their loved ones. This retreat is part of My LifeJars’ larger mission to help people become “Life Ready” by blending practical planning with emotional storytelling. The company’s digital platform and patented encrypted online vault securely store vital documents, passwords, wishes, and precious memories, providing peace of mind and ensuring life preservation.
My LifeJars has partnered with the press distribution company, Pressat, to promote their Life Story Workshop Retreat and their mission to help individuals capture and preserve their life stories. The retreat is set to be a one-of-a-kind experience that combines writing, storytelling, and technology to create a lasting legacy.
