Woman Who Carries Gold Between Her Teeth: The Etiquette of the Underworld
Studio One Space, Dartington Estate, Totnes, Devon, United KingdomThis gathering focuses around the mythic feminine and the Underworld within story, especially the story of Psyche and Eros. Supported by conversation around the story of Inanna and many fairy tales Martin has told over the years, this will be an illuminating journey for both women and men.
Beautiful Learning: Oral Thought and Culture-Making
Moorland Hotel Haytor, Newton Abbot, Devon, United KingdomDuring this enforced hiatus of the everyday, what, amongst all that fell away, are the threads you want to deepen into? What has value? Over the gathering, we will move between mythic and personal narratives, and the teeming creel of associations we have with that big word Storyteller. Martin will be working into Celtic stories and philosophy, to include a rare telling of the Invasion Tales of Erin and the Arrival of the Tuatha De Danann.
