2010 Oct 10 Sunday - Remembering the World: A native writing workshop
    from 2 to 5 pm at Terrasante's Himdag Sanctuary
How does language create and mirror reality?  Does the syntax itself of modern languages limit us to living in what shamans call the dream of the world, a place where suffering, fear and drama are the norm?  Do ancient tribal tongues reflect a more holistic universe?  What is the place of storytelling, and how does it jive with the written word?
We'll explore these and other questions as we let the magic of the Sonoran desert inspire our writing, reading and storytelling.
