On the Rocky Road
Dear Friends,
At a time when many of us feel estranged and alienated
within our own land, when people, careers and institutions
are banished daily without debate, I think it’s helpful
to consider the world’s oldest stories on the subject of
outcasts and exiles.
Myths speak to us from the extremes of the human
condition and offer ideas on how to navigate
difficult passages as individuals and societies. The outcast
and the exile are age-old conditions of the soul as well as
current troubles within the culture. There are some
cultures and people all too familiar with the archetype
of the outcast and the exile. Those voices and perspectives
are essential now as they see these troubled times with
a darkened eye and understand what is required to journey beyond the
current wasteland and return with renewed vision, vitality
and possibility.
In that spirit, please join us for an evening of tales,
songs and poems inspired by wandering peddlers,
itinerant musicians, landless outcasts and banished poets
on Ireland’s long and rocky road of exile. A celebration
of St. Patrick, Druid’s Day and the countless gods and
goddesses of the Celtic Pantheon.
Slainte!
