For the second year, Shivan O'Brien storyteller and ceremonialist is offering
THE WELLSPINGS AND BEAUTIFUL SPEECH
|
“A beautiful lady was running naked through the night,
but no poet was awake to praise her.”
|
 The second meeting focussing on the mature poetic speech that nourishes the Soul of the World and brings integrity, nobility and revelation to
language, the community and the world.
This will be a deeply personal time working with that most intimate of our capacities - our speech: speech that can reveal and praise and bless the muddy details and blue skies of the gods, mountains and lakes and our own stumblings. And which should be our
living gift to the world. A world destroyed through casual living, casual talking and starved of the poetry and honesty, and divine artistry of the heart. Old cultures knew about this, we can learn and remember.
Mining treasures from the holding house of the body and soul, to offer up from our open hands to the day; and how through what we think and say, we mould the reality of our lives. Erika Indra will be assisting in this.
You must have attended two Spirit Horse events with Shivam to attend this one.

What
We speak
Becomes the house we live in.
Who will want to sleep in your bed
If the roof leaks
Right above
It?

“Beowulf, thus challenged by the dauntless and well spoken guard
unlocked his word hoard.”
Come to learn to speak like you.
Bring your poems and be all that the world is!
“Finn praised that Harper saying,
"he never told a story without making truth naked".”
