An evening of myth, music, and remembering
Celtic Dreamtime is an evening of story, song, and soulful gathering devoted to that same current of remembering. Together, we will journey through Celtic myth and melody, exploring the waters of ancestry, imagination, and belonging that run beneath our modern lives. We will share tales of the salmon, of the oak, of the wild dreaming world and of the foretime which we have all come from. These stories will be accompanied by songs from the same origin - the deep dreaming earth and her ancient ways.
With our brains hard-wired for story, this ancient folk art is finding new life, returning to theatres, festivals, and community halls, offering something both ancient and immediate. It invites us into direct communion with one another, heart to heart, soul to soul. Stories helped us make sense of the world, and still do. They awaken imagination and connect us to something timeless.
