What BIG Story is hunting YOU?

All of us are living a STORY. What BIG Story is hunting YOU? 

If we fail to define ourselves, we let ourselves be defined by others.

All of us are living a story. If we don’t know what it is, it’s likely to be a little, limiting story, woven from past disappointments, stitched tight by people forever telling us who we are, what we can and cannot accomplish.

Great healing becomes available when we draw on the immense energy generated by serving a larger purpose. We gain courage and stamina to get through the ups & downs of daily life, aware that we’re acting in a deeper drama.

Australian Aborigines say that the BIG stories are hunting the right people to tell them, like predators stalking in the bush. The trick is to put ourselves in a place where the BIG stories can find us. In this weekend of creative play, we’ll let the BIG stories hunt us, and learn to embody their power and healing in our lives.

We’ll explore and perform some of the BIG stories from myth and literature...

*The Japanese story of the sun goddess who hid her light because she was abused, and how she was coaxed back...
*The Gnostic story of the forgetful envoy sent into this world on a vital mission, but forgot what it was...
*Dante’s story of how we approach our truest life teacher by knocking on the heart.

From dreams and shared journeys, spontaneous theatre and entertainments, we’ll harvest personal stories, charged with energy and meaning, becoming the authors of our own life scripts!

Revising the plan

Well, as it sometimes goes with advance planning, we're now in process of revisions.

I am re-directing my spring-summertime creative planning energies into a dreamy mission to coordinate a Cincinnati workshop with author and dreamer, Robert Moss. He will be facilitating his fabulous workshop, "The Healing Power of Story," to a lucky group of participants on June 6-7, 2009.

I have been participating in his Online Dream Course since May 2008, during which time I have dreamed with men and women from all over the world, from Germany to Canada to Australia to states coast to coast in the US. The power of the dreams and the profound lessons available by recalling, sharing and acting upon them is nothing short of mind boggling. I attended one of Robert's weekend workshops, live and in person, in Mystic, Ct. in November, and we determined that midwest dreamers deserve a workshop of their own. Based largely (of course) upon a very vivid and memorable dream I'd had several months earlier in which I dreamed that Robert Moss was in my very own town, I felt compelled to nurture this mission. And so I am.

Fear not! The Sacred Gathering is not defunct, only gathering new and juicy offerings. Early next year, we'll choose a new date to manifest our sacredness - probably in fall 2009 - an excellent time to dangle from and/or wish on trees, paint furniture, dream, laugh and play together!

Meanwhile, I invite you all to DREAM with me!
