EVENT PROTOCOL & FAQs
Join journeyman storytellers Jake Lewis and Aly Foy for an evening of storytelling in the old way that is forever new. With improvisational style, Jake and Aly will each take your imagination on a walkabout, where the Otherworld keeps poking up through the gauze of what we think we know. Come and be captivated stories that speak to perennial human themes, and with a short reflection after each.
Bring a chair or blanket, and your appetite for marvels.
Appropriate for all ages, though there are some adult themes or violent images in these old stories. Please contact Jake or Aly directly if you would like to bring young children.
ABOUT JAKE LEWIS
Myths, tall tales, and epics have been a part of Jake Lewis' life since a young age. Making sense of the world through old stories has always made sense to him. Jake has guided people on transformative educational experiences for nearly 15 years, and combines that "dirt time" with a deep study of the human psyche, a playful spirit, and a reverence for participation. He has studied with master storytellers Dr. Martin Shaw (School of Myth) and Stephen Jenkinson (Orphan Wisdom School). With a background in professional theater and audio recordings, Jake's tellings bring an array of characters to life in deeply human, and more-than-human, ways.
