Going Deep Long Traditional Story Retreat
and Concerts
April 11-14, 2012, San Francisco, CA
Are you hungry for the depth and substance of a rich storytelling experience? Long traditional stories are like a hearty meal in a fast-food world. During Going Deep, an epic teller serves up a long story concert each evening. The next morning, workshop participants “go deep” into that story, exploring its themes, meaning and imagery with the teller. Afternoons are free. Evening concerts are at 7:30 p.m. Morning workshops are 9:00-12:00.

The First Branch of the Mabinogion – The Story of Pwyll and Rhiannon told by Mythic Crew (Liz Warren & John Good)
Liz Warren and John Good of Mythic Crew
Mythic Crew blends music, language, proverb and story to evoke the Celtic bardic tradition for 21st century listeners. The First Branch introduces us to ancient concepts of the Otherworld and sovereignty while showing us how a proper medieval Welsh prince should behave.
Friday
Mahabharata: Hindu Epic told by Cathryn Fairlee
Cathryn Fairlee
Well known to all Hindus, this is an ancient epic of the dynastic struggle between cousins, the 5 splendid Pandavas and the 100 scheming Kauravas. Full of myths, adventure, humor, and spiritual enlightenment, and three times longer than the Bible, this pilgrimage gives you its essence.
Saturday
NEW! Going Wide…Stories of Epic Proportions (in small portions)
Join us for a concert of six tellers performing shorter pieces on epic themes. Performers to be announced. There will be no follow-up workshop for this concert.
