9 - 10 August 2018 | Vasalisa the Wise, Story-telling and Art experience with Briar and Michael Grim


Nosing out the Facts: The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation

A Russian Folk tale from ‘Women who run with the Wolves’

This Story-telling and Art experience is offered in honour of Women’s Day

With Briar and Michael Grimley at Acacia Grove in McGregor

9 & 10 August 2018


‘Intuition is the treasure of a woman’s psyche. It is like a divining instrument and like a crystal through which one can see with uncanny interior vision. It is like a wise old woman who is with you always, who tells you exactly what the matter is, tells you exactly whether you need to go left or right. It is a form of The One Who Knows, old La Que Sabé, the Wild Woman.’

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Join Briar and Michael at Acacia Grove, and let the telling of this story sing to the deep woman in you. Through pastel, clay and poetry writing we will welcome her to dance with us, hold our hands,

laugh and cry with us, and ‘wring the truth from things’.

All women and men who want to nurture their wild eternal feminine are warmly invited.

‘Once there was, and once there was not, a young mother who lay on her deathbed, her face pale as the white wax roses in the sacristy of the church nearby. Her young daughter and her husband sat at the end of her old wooden bed and prayed that God would guide her safely into the next world…’


We will gather at Acacia Grove at 9.00 on Women’s Day, Thursday 9 August, to greet fellow travelers and hear the story. Using various art forms we will dream out the dolls in our pockets, extract nourishment, see what there is to see, know what there is to know, learn to be the keepers of the creative fire, and have intimate knowing about the

Life/Death/Life cycles of all nature…
