Medicine of the Starry Heavens's Stories from Stardust presents...The Bird Song of the Starry River
-
In honor of our winged friends migrating their way south for the winter we will gather under the vault-of-the-heavens for stories and poetics that take flight & cross borders. We will pay homage to the starry birds of the autumn sky, those sojourners who bless the Milky Way and carry our pilgrim souls on the great ancestral Star River. These are some of the oldest myths that contain our mutual life and common humanity, weaving through time and landscape, the way birdsong weaves through the human psyche. There be secrets and deep-time whispers in this part of the sky. Notes that carry up-close names & murmurs of the Gods & Goddesses. Come explore the Milky Way and the brightest stars of autumn.

~What is Stories from Stardust?~
A one of a kind story-telling, stargazing deep-dive that braids together myth, cosmology & poetics with intellectual history, cultural remembering, practical astronomy & heart-centered teachings. These events are a form of ritual attunement that weave together imagination, landscape, cross-cultural star-lore, wonder, ancient perceptions & an alchemical courting of the night sky. I tell stories the way our ancestors did: under the night sky, around a fire, along shorelines, communing with the treasure trove of constellational images and folklore that is our starry heavens. Doing it this way is an inheritance that reaches deep into an embodied culture of belonging and plucks the long-forgotten heartstrings of the human psyche.
