Leaving The Soltane Forest: The Old Woman Weaving
A Weekend Workshop of Myth, Magic, & Metamorphosis Facilitated by Dr. Louisa Foster Friday, April 5th to Sunday, April 7th |
Creation stories come in many forms, and many mythologies offer variations on the tale of the Old Woman Weaving. The Wise Crone sitting at her loom, weaving the World into existence, and reminding us of the beautiful interconnected, yet fragile tapestry of reality.
But what are we meant to do when we feel that the painstaking work is coming apart?
What is being asked of us as we watch the world unravel?
In this weekend workshop, we will spend time in community examining what we can do to care for ourselves, those we love, and the fabric of our global community that begins to fray in times of chaos, confusion, and despair.
We will spend the weekend immersed in developing and gathering our strength and resources. Using storytelling, mindfulness, contemplative writing, ritual, and art making, we will weave from our own wisdom and decide how to shape our own section of the cloth.
