running With The Wolves
There is an ancient folktale about a Wolf Woman who climbs the canyons, and sifts through the arroyos or dry riverbeds, gathering wolf bones over which she sings, until they spring back to life and run off laughing with the voice of a woman. Inspired by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ retelling of this story in her book Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype, this folktale invites us to call back to life those buried and discarded parts of ourselves, so that we can find our true voice again.
Eclipse
Reindeer folktales can be found in Finland, Russia, Greenland and Canada, and the United States (specifically Alaska) circling the arctic like a wide necklace made of woven strands of interconnected stories and antler bones that tell of a time when humans and reindeer lived together as one family. These folktales transport us back to an ancient magical world where humans lived in fidelity to the migration of reindeer rather than confined to national or political borderlines encouraging us to rethink people, place and belonging.
Owl & Raven
This Inuit Folktale celebrates a unique concept of adornment where beauty is not just attributed to an individual, but rather, is brought into being as a result of cooperation, reciprocal exchange and valuing each other’s gifts. It includes two feathered friends, wise owl and trickster raven. Inspired by the retelling of this story in the Inuit language in a stop motion puppetry video directed by Director Co Hoedeman available on YouTube.
