Tellers, Tales and Tradition: A weekend telling with Shonaleigh
You are invited to a unique, immersive weekend of storytelling for adults from the world-renowned tradition bearer and storyteller Shonaleigh. This is a rare chance to hear these ancient tales in the light and on the tongue, stories untold for two generations and barely spoken of for decades.
The Song of Lilith 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.
Lilith has always fascinated us. Is she demoness or goddess? Wronged woman or strong wife? The Song of Lilith reveals much about her true nature. From the beginning of time, Lilith has been dancing and crying on the shore, calling to all women. In this tale we hear how three women joined her dance… and went on to change the world.
This is an unmissable opportunity for anyone interested in stories or in oral and lost cultures to come and experience the Drut’syla tradition as it was meant to be experienced, through listening, requesting stories and asking questions. There will only be a few places, so booking is essential.
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 start at around 7pm on Friday evening and finish at 11am on the Sunday.
The ticket fee for the weekend includes storytelling, food, and accommodation, and is 286-385 euro per person, depending on whether you are in a single or shared room, and whether your room is ensuite or has a shared bathroom.
