This is a monthly gathering to share our ancestral stories and to look into the layers of understanding and teachings that they offer. Each month, I will send you a myth, via email and posted on the webiste here, to read prior to our gathering.
The myths will be predominately of Indo-European origins, in an attempt to uncover the remaining vestiges of an intact, land-based culture and spirituality, indigenous to that landscape. As settlers on this land, we recognize the importance of searching within our own origins for a culture worth living for, that we may come to the table of reconciliation free from the hunger of spiritual poverty. We will find, remaining within these old stories, whispers of profound beauty that touch our deepest longings, nourish our souls, and offer us guidance towards a life of reverence and reciprocity.
Together we can grapple with the mysterious similarities between a myth from Moldavia in central Europe and a myth from the Tzutujil Maya, in Guatemala. Or how stories from the British Isles share threads with the old Nart Sagas of the Caucasus Mountains.
All ancestral heritages are welcome and encouraged.
We will share stories and then dive into discussion about our understanding of the myths and how they may be living in our lives or culture during these times.
Please bring a snack to keep your body nourished.
Drop-ins are welcome. :-) However, if you would like to join, please let me know so that I can be best prepared for our gathering.
We're looking forward to a winter of story sharing!
