There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
. . . Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
excerpt from William Stafford’s “The Way It Is”
An invitation: My latest book, The Soul’s Red Thread: Memoirs of a Guide, are my life stories. What are your own? And, through them all, what’s the life thread you’ve been following?
Come join me for four seasons of storytelling: an opportunity to tell your own life stories and to hear those of others. Each month, I’ll choose a theme from my book and invite you to explore this while you’re walking alone in nature. We will then circle together for a series of story councils. The format for the year will be a mix of half-day council meetings, all-day day walks, and weekend gatherings.
This is not a book club to discuss my book. This is a chance to tell your own stories.
Schedule:
January 24 (Zoom meeting): Introductions and Orientation
February 28 (half-day): What Are the Title and the Plotline of Your Own Life Story?
March 28 (all-day day walk): Your Inheritance: A Life Story Begins Before You’re Born
April 25 (all-day day walk): The Magical Child
May 30 (all-day day walk): The Confusion of Adolescence
June 27 (all-day day walk): The Young Adult: Hire Me, Marry Me, Trust Me
July 16-19 (weekend gathering): The Middle Passage: Connecting with Something Deeper Inside
August 8 (all-day day walk): The Elder Passage: Contemplating Impermanence
September 12 (all-day day walk): The Core Wound, the Core Blessing
October 9-11 (weekend gathering): In the Life Lodge: Keeping Relationships Current
November 21 (half-day): Incorporation: Turning Right Speech into Right Action
December 5 (half-day): Closing Council & Final Celebratory Meal
