Join traditional storyteller Shonaleigh for a unique, immersive weekend, a rare chance to hear ancient tales in the light and on the tongue, stories untold for two generations and barely spoken of for decades.
The Petal Demon belongs to the Cycle of Hillel, which is the first of twelve epic, latticed, interlinked cycles of stories passed down through generations of Jewish women.
It’s the story of a woman who is pursued by a mage, and how she’s helped by Lilith to create a maze of flowers, that traps the mage and becomes a sanctuary for her.
This woman becomes known as the Petal Demon, and through her wanderings she leaves legends behind her. To men she’s a demoness; to women she’s a heroine.
This telling takes place at Hof Zevenbergen, Kasteeldreef 22, 2520 Ranst, Belgium, in a beautiful wooded environment. The nearest big town and airport is Antwerp which is 20 mins away by taxi. We’ll begin around 7pm on the Friday and end around 1pm on the Sunday.
Accommodation and meals are included.
