Description
Over the course of an hour or hour and a half event, I’ll retell a fairy tale or mythic story and close the evening by guiding a meditation to facilitate mythic sleep and dreams and/or facilitate discussion and creative interaction. Bed-time stories aren’t just for children. In turbulent times, adults crave imagination.
Benefits
This will be be an inspiring, relaxing, and memorable program. Every time I perform these stories, I’m struck anew by how much delight and imagination they bring to audiences from a wide, wide range of backgrounds. A lot of us crave a deeper connection to both imagination and rest and receptivity: this session would help audiences develop both.
