The Storyteller and the Shaman: the Woman Who Married a Bear

November 16, 2019 @ 10:00 am—4:00 pm
The Upper Gatehouse (The Elmhirst Centre), Dartington Hall
Totnes, Devon TQ9 6EL United Kingdom
£89.16
School of Myth, Recommended Reading

Myth binds us to soul, place, magic and history. Since pre-history we have gathered to be divinely discombobulated by myth's power, to gratefully consume the spiritual roughage of its images. Join master storyteller Martin Shaw for a day getting near the heart of the matter: why do we still need storytellers? What is their archaic relationship to magic? Expect to leave with at least one story to tell, and a reservoir of approaches to honour the courting of such tales.

Martin Shaw romanticism as activism

A day journey into the stirring Celtic myth of Tristan and Isolde, a profoundly powerful story about the many gradations of love, grief and ecstasy. This is a time when a woman can also be a hawk that flew straight from the heart of the sun, a time when a man is enraptured by the bone white moon.

A New Intensive Weekend with Dr Martin Shaw. Myth, Rites of Passage, The Times We Are In. Martin Shaw writes: Back at the end of last year I wrote this - "For the first time in history an initiation is coming that will involve everyone on the planet. Not a rite-of-passage for a few but all of us, human and non-human alike." The plan at that moment was to create a three weekend program that directly related the worlds of myth and rites-of-passage, something that has been a core value in my work for twenty years. And then the initiation turned up. And here we are.
