Mythtelling with Dr. Martin Shaw at Sparkroot Farm

A Thousand Persian Horses Gallop: Passion, Eloquence & The Road of Story
at Sparkroot Farm• Saturday, May 19, 10 AM – 4 PM:

Join us for a day or a full weekend with mythteller and author, Martin Shaw. Dr. Shaw claims the stories we need arrived right on time about five thousand years ago.

How do we rise to this cultural moment gracefully, with acute listening, honesty and capacity for depth? It can be an exhausting business to maintain the shape of being human.
