In Search of Secrets: Stories of Wildness and Becoming

In Search of Secrets: Stories of Wildness and Becoming

In an age marked by rapid access to the ‘next thing’ - to instant information, gratification and swift disposability, we’re losing the patience it takes to spend enough time, enough wonder, and enough curiosity with the world around us to uncover its secrets. Their whispers are getting louder, and they've got something to tell you.

Here’s the catch (as there always is):

Those things you want? The things the deepest part of you yearns for need to take time. They demand your patient attention.

Relationships, places, vocations - these fruity bits of life need to ripen fully before their fruits can drip from your lips. They need to know you’re serious about them.

The real magic of life has wised up to our sneaky, thumb-scrolling ways of tuning out of these ancient dialects of becoming.

The same is true of stories. The wisdom of these old myths can’t be found by a couple mouse clicks.

Perhaps that’s why some storytellers speak of ‘working’ with the same folktale for years. Deeper and deeper they go into the calloused, canvas walled bags of tongues.

Did you know that you’ve got a deep cavern of mystery just like that, if not deeper, in you?

On July 18th, join storyteller Alex Savatti for an evening of myth and mystery, in search of some these secrets.

Together, we’ll drop a bucket into a few old wells, pull it up slowly, and see what nourishing waters might be there for us to quench our parched souls.
