This Could Be A Perfect Fit For You If You:
Are drawn to your European ancestry and have a love of European folklore (and know there are deeper layers to them than you know how to get to).
Have a deep respect for indigenous peoples, their traditions and lifeways
Are open to an animist understanding of the world
Are drawn to the works of Stephen Jenkinson, Sharon Blackie, Michael Meade, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Martin Prechtel, Martin Shaw and the Emerald Podcast.
Over The Six Weeks You Will:
Attend six, weekly, two-hour zoom calls.
Come to see that more memory survived than we’ve been led to believe – much of it in the form of common folk and fairy tales you likely heard as a child or watched as Disney movies.
Come to understand fairy tales as more memory than metaphor.
Engage with a small portion of that cultural memory via multiple versions of the Sleeping Beauty story that exists in many versions around the world.
Learn a new, beauty-making handcraft.
All the money raised from your pledges to this Substack go to support the work of indigenous, cultural activist Kakisimo Iskwew.
I would very. much like to join but am unable to pay $300 up front as I am on a limited income. Are there payment plans Tad?
