Multiple dates and times
Deer Wood Roundhouse, Loddiswell, Kingsbridge, TQ7 4EE
Description
Fireside Evening in the Roundhouse
“Maybe in the twilight meet yourself.”
Join Alys Harwood for an evocative evening of storytelling deep in the dark woods, where ancient myth meets the warmth of the fire. We invite you to step away from the everyday and into a space where old stories awaken emotions of grief and love, and the ancient tradition of oral storytelling reminds us of our shared past.
- A Fireside Gathering: Nestled within a rustic roundhouse and whispering trees, our fire will light the night.
- Storytelling by Alys: Our storyteller, Alys—who has shared many transformative evenings with Dr. Martin Shaw—brings a lifetime of reflective material and a deep connection to myth and memory. Her tales, inspired by ancient traditions and steeped in both joy and sorrow, will make small but urgent invitations to connect with universal feelings and ideas.
- An Invitation to Reflect: This isn’t a children’s tale; it’s a night meant for those ready to explore the layers of myth, grief, and love. Let the stories guide you as you contemplate what it means to be human, perhaps even seeing a bit of yourself in the twilight.
Hosted in the Spirit of Recalling Fire:
Drawing inspiration from the themes celebrated on Recalling Fire, our gathering plays in the power and craic of ancient myth and storytelling. Here, tradition and introspection come together to create a unique experience—a reminder that sometimes, in the soft glow of the fire, we can reconnect with our most authentic selves.
