A Wild Love for the World

Presenting - A WIld Love for the World

Somewhere in his thirties, poetry found Jaime. It moved something old and wild within him. A passion for education led him to offer community rites of passage events. After a devastating accident he finds another way to play the guitar and begins writing songs about the passages that exist between life stages.After two decades helping adolescents gain a sense of what it means to be a healthy and whole, he turns his attention to the mid-life crisis/opportunity asking where are the elders and what does it mean to be a True Adult?

A tapestry of original songs, real life gusty storytelling, woven with spoken word poetry from and of the heart. The journey speaks to the Great Turning, an idea that we as humans have moved through the agricultural revolution, Industrial revolution and that now we are poised on the brink of a possible conscious revolution into a life sustaining society.Featuring spoken word poems by David Whyte, Mary Oliver and more.

The evening is a storytelling adventure with original songs, spoken word poetry and a short conscious dance for the adventurous at the end. The offering is made to bring more awareness to the work of Joanna Macy and Bill Plotkin in the spirit of the Great Turning.
