Poets, Mavericks & Prophets

ON THE THEMES & GUESTS OF THE SHOW

The topics we will be discussing in solo shows, and with our guests, will be a wide range of philosophies, cosmologies, spiritual & artistic practices — the wonderful variety of storytelling across the globe, as well as transpersonal and archetypal psychology, psychology of art and creativity, transcendental states, the imaginal realms, creative explorations of the mystical, fairytales and myths, dreams and dream time, anthropology of ritual, cinema as modern magic, energy and body work, medicine cultures, animal and plant wisdom, crystal lore, paranormal and psychedelic experiences, gifts of prophecy, astrology, diverse forms of divination, psychogeography and sacred spaces, wanderlust and the holy pilgrimage, the re-emergence of the Goddess archetype, and much else. The goal is to find enchantment in simple, everyday experience, follow our hearts and let our minds open to an unusual perspectives, nourishing a kind of talent for the peculiar, which restores in us the state of childlike awe. Stand witness to the glory of the Anima mundi, and honour our quest for meaning, connection, beauty & joy.
