Trickster Stories: An Evening of Mischievous Wisdom
Please join Mythteller Brian Rohr and the Sacred Storytelling Series this Oct 23rd as we engage in one of the oldest acts known to humans, that of the oral tradition, where we sit together as a community and listen to the old myths, the old stories. In honor of Halloween, Samhain and the Day of the Dead, we celebrate this time by coming together to listen to the stories and wisdom of those masters of creative chaos, the Tricksters: Coyote, Raven, Wolverine and more.
Please be aware that while families are invited and welcome, we are telling stories of the Trickster and mature themes and language may be present (and usually are).

"Sharing the ancient art of storytelling as a way to educate, entertain and offer healing to individuals, communities and the living world."
Brian Rohr is a Storyteller/Mythteller who resides here in the Pacific Northwest, recently moving from Port Townsend, WA to Portland, OR.

The list includes: the 14th International Jewish Renewal Aleph Kallah; Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle; Illinois State University; Trickster Tales Storytelling Festival in Washington State; Tapestry of Jewish Learning in Austin, TX, the Mankind Project and more.
Rohr was named by JT News as a "10 Under 40" recipient - Honored as one of ten notable Jewish people in Washington under 40 years old who are doing important and inspirational works within the community, specifically honored as a storyteller.
As a storyteller, Brian focuses on the old stories the myths, folktales and fairy tales from many different cultures, knowing that these old stories are alive, vital and can inform us on how to live our lives as authentic human beings, helping to make sense and meaning of the living world we are a part of.
