Women Need Stories
in lands of stone and sea,
old bones and ancestry
where roots return to Mother trees

Stories bind us to deep time, inviting a re-membrance that life
is a sacred gift from the cosmos, a reciprocal dance with the earth,
a borrowed labour of love from the children yet to come.

SACRED STORYTELLING AS A VESSEL FOR TRUTH

When we receive a story, really receive it, the threads of our own inner landscape re-weave into the universal tapestry of ancient memory, present experience, future promise.

COURTNEY MANN

I have loved storytelling since girlhood.

Finding myself in characters, landscapes and storylines felt like remembering layovers of the long journey I had always been on.

Gathering stories, rites & wisdom of ancestral women's ways is my current earth work.

Weaving remembrance is my eternal soul work.

"The bringing of light
is no simple matter.
The offering of flowers
is a work of generations."

I acknowledge and bow in deep gratitude to these unceded ancestral lands of the
Coast Salish SENĆOŦEN and Hul’q’umi’num’ speaking peoples, who are hosting me as a visitor,
as I learn what it means to live in reciprocity, slowness, tenderness and truth.
