Family, Earth, Sky: Creating the Sacred House of Feathers
With Laura Simms and Cynthia Spencer
March 6 - 8, 2020
Through story, Dharma Art, drumming and natural exploration, families bring to life an epic story as traditional wisdom cultures have done since the earliest times. The House of Feathers is a myth of the Orinoco Peoples of the Amazon about the power of basic goodness. Throughout the weekend, the story will unfold and together we will create landscapes, dances and soundscapes culminating in the making of a sacred House of Feathers adorned with our own tales.
