An evening of storytelling around the fire with Jake Lewis AND Aly Foy

About this event

Join journeyman storytellers Jake Lewis and Aly Foy for an evening of storytelling in the old way that is forever new. With improvisational style, Jake and Aly will each take your imagination on a walkabout, where the Otherworld keeps poking up through the gauze of what we think we know. Come and be captivated stories that speak to perennial human themes, and with a short reflection after each. AND, given its proximity to Hallowe’en, each tale will follow that theme. Bring your appetite for marvels. Appropriate for all ages, though there are some adult themes or violent images in these old stories. Please contact Jake or Aly directly if you would like to bring young children. WEBSITE Myths, tall tales, and epics have been a part of Jake Lewis' life since a young age. Making sense of the world through old stories has always made sense to him. Jake has guided people on transformative educational experiences for nearly 15 years, and combines that "dirt time" with a deep study of the human psyche, a playful spirit, and a reverence for participation. He has studied with master storytellers Dr. Martin Shaw (School of Myth) and Stephen Jenkinson (Orphan Wisdom School). With a background in professional theater and audio recordings, Jake's tellings bring an array of characters to life in deeply human, and more-than-human, ways. WEBSITE Aly is a freelancer based in Ambleside, Cumbria offering outdoor therapeutic services and storytelling performance events. Aly holds a HCPC and British Association of Dramatherapists - registered Drama & Movement Therapist, and a qualified Environmental Arts Therapist. She enjoys supporting clients in creatively expressing their inner emotional worlds through story, art, music, and movement as they grow roots through connection to place and grounding in the living world. Aly has spent the past five years studying Celtic myth & legend and have told stories around fires literal and figurative across the world, including in the UK, USA, and Thailand. She believes we pass stories between us as medicine for universal challenges, and that stories are for people of all ages and places.
