The Myth of Inanna & Ereshkigal
Explored through the Actor’s Process

The actor’s process exhilarates the body with imagery, creating dimensions of beauty, imagination and emotion. The shared experience can be personally valuable and refreshing.  In 2015, Remi Messenger presented the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna, the story of a life from adolescence through phases of her womanhood to ‘godship.’ The archetypal force of this myth provides a complex and compelling template for the contemporary woman, which a workshop then explored through theatre and drama therapy. Participants experienced the day as supportive, playful, invigorating and insightful. This year Remi will conduct a two-day workshop to explore Inanna in confrontation with her sister, Ereshkigal -  a dynamic fascinating to well-known Jungian analysts. (No theatre experience required. More specific preparation materials will be available prior to the workshop,)

Note - Due to the special nature of this Weekend Retreat, participation over both days is required.
         Attendance for just one day is strongly discouraged.
