24.7-29.7. 2016 Jondal in Hardanger, Norway
Course holders:
Hugh Lupton UK: The Dreaming of Place
A workshop that will explore the landscape
with spoken language - invocation and evocation. The aim will be to look
at how the land might re-sacralised through journeying into the layers of
narrative that it carries. The Aboriginal belief system will be used to
investigate the notion of 'Song-lines' and 'Dreaming'. Some of the great poets
of the wild will also be explored… and used to stimulate our own response to
wild nature and its places. Info: www.hughlupton.com
Laura Simms USA: STORY AS NATURAL REPAIR
The basics of the workshop is three fold: using
a traditional tale a s a template to explore the way that engagement opens
access within listeners the innate territory of unconditional presence that
grows the capacity for interdependence; the way in which images work to
reconnect our body, imagination with the natural world as participant (rather
than observer); and to deepen our understanding of the tools and practices of a
storyteller dedicated to overt and subliminal appreciation (empathy and
kindness) of our natural world; within and without. Info: http://www.laurasimms.com/
Angela Halvorsen Bogo UK/NO: A REVOLUTION OF BELONGING
When people feel a deep connection to each other and to nature there is an entirely different way of relating. The way we go about storytelling can catalyse a 'revolution of belonging' when we develop the capacites needed to be such community animating revolutionaries. This workshop looks deeply at the mechanisms, attitudes and skills the storyteller works with such as profound presence, an advanced responsiveness moment to moment to the audience and to fine tuning and working with our surroundings. Working outside involves an acceptance of changing weather, light, temperature and sound. How to adapt the voice and body to be heard, to allow the surroundings to become the best possible backdrop, to highlight for the audience what is already unfolding. The skill in choosing which things to take in and when, which things to draw attention to and when and which things to leave alone. The storyteller can then draw the audience into a deeper connection with nature, landscape because he or she is themselves actively participating in deepening relationship, of connecting with and belonging to the earth and its elements. The workshop uses voice work, song, storytelling technique and movement improvisation. Info: www.thefoolstory.com

Gal-Or IL/UK og Karmit EvenZur ES: Earth Speakers
- Earth Keepers
Geomancy is an art and a science that teaches
us to read the subtle layers of the land. Through the 'geomantic lenses' we can
experience an inter-relationship and inter-communication within all living systems.
We can meet our planet Earth as a conscious entity full of life and stories.
When we pay
attention to these stories, we open ourselves to a communication that
incorporates our intuitive knowing with our rational mind. We begin to make
sense of what our instincts, our senses and our heart is telling us. We
find ourselves in the same territory and consciousness we find in Wonder Tales,
where the invisible
becomes tangible, where the inner becomes the visible
landscape outside us and where the nature of nature comes to life in a form
that resonates with and speaks directly to our soul. In this course, by developing our capacity to listen
to the story of a place, we will experience different types of elemental
consciousness and work with archetypal and creative forces of nature. Through
energy work and storytelling exercises we will explore our capacity to bring
balance and harmony within a landscape. As we discover our role and connection
to the Earth we will practise lending our voices to the land. Speaking,
sounding and giving birth to the new stories and myths of these unfolding times
– times of connective, creative and collaborative relationship with the Earth
and all her beings. Info : www.schoolofstorytelling.com og www.earth-speaks.net

Together we will walk a path of adventure. Taking with us our bag of stories, a sharp knife and a box of matches, we explore the incredible landscape around this fjord and valley. We meet wild herbs, insects and animals, we climb trees and make Land art. We walk through the waterfall and prepare a secret experience for the rest of the group.
