We all have a particular lineage, a continuing story connecting us across centuries to ancestors, land, and traditions. But in our modern lives, this story often amounts to little more than a list of names and places. What does it really mean to be from a place, from a heritage? And what from our distant pasts do we wish to carry forward into the future?Embark on a spirited exploration with musician Corey Murphy, who blends research, music, and storytelling to revive and reimagine traditional folk songs of Irish immigrants who settled in Lake and Klamath Counties. He’ll show us how stories and songs offer a rich conduit for accessing our cultural heritage, orienting us not only toward our past, but toward our present and future. We’ll map our own migratory paths, honoring the ways in which they converge and diverge from others in our community.
This workshop is for anyone who wants to awaken or deepen their sense of cultural heritage and/or identity, while engaging in thoughtful dialogue about how these might impact our roles and responsibilities as residents of our current communities.
This is a free, all-ages event.
