Invitation To Experience The Healing Power Of Myth In Paul Rebillot’s Residential Experiential Personal Development Workshop ‘Dancing With The Gods’
June 22nd – 28th 2024 at Slí an Chroí, Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow.
Facilitated by The Fool’s Dance Gestalt Company – Paul Rebillot group in Ireland.
There can't be many Irish people who are not familiar with at least a few stories from Celtic mythology - the sad fate of the Children of Lir, perhaps, or the heroic exploits of Fionn and the Fianna. Classical Greek myths have also found a place in our collective consciousness as shown, for example, by our use of the adjective 'Herculean' for a particularly demanding task - a reference
to the twelve near-impossible Labours of Hercules. Even some myths from less-familiar cultures are now quite well-known in the West - among them the Sumerian saga of Inanna (Goddess of love, fertility .... and war) journeying to the Land of the Dead to visit its Queen, her vengeful twin sister Ereshkigal or the story of how the Egyptian Goddess Isis found, reunited and reanimated the scattered remains of Osiris, her murdered husband.
That these ancient stories have so tenaciously survived into our own time suggests that they express deep truths about the human condition
Is there a myth or legend that fascinates you, haunts you or strongly draws you in? If so, it is probably because your unconscious recognises that there is a lesson within that story that you need to learn. 'Dancing with the Gods' invites you to bring that myth - or legend or folk tale with a strong supernatural element - to the workshop. We will use a variety of creative approaches - including dramatisation, movement, art, music, ritual, meditation and Gestalt Process - to help you discover the deep meaning that this tale holds for you. You will explore your personal world of mythology, not from the point of view of academic or aesthetic interest, but because it can serve as a reservoir of healing energy for yourself and for the world that you live in. No previous experience of drama or Gestalt Process is required.
