Consciousness & Spirituality, Story-Telling & Narrative
On Myth & Kinship
KINSHIP: An Online Course Talk with Stephen Jenkinson, Charlotte Du Cann
Stephen and Charlotte will offer a pre-recorded conversation on the relationship between kinship and myth. How do stories create/relate to belonging? How do notions of kinship appear in and influence the way we weave our cultural (& other) stories? What do the stories we tell imply about our relationships? How might we transform these stories so kinship is at their core? What are the stories which come from that land that connect us to the other? How does the language of animacy weave relations in this way?

How might we transform these stories so kinship is at their core? What are the stories which come from the land that connect us to the other?
