Eve’s Three Beautiful Daughters
A Weekend Storytelling with Shonaleigh
Date: 20-22 September – Venue: Regenworks, The Granary, Dartington Hall, Totnes, TQ9 6EL
This September, South Devon Storytellers are excited to be hosting a unique weekend of storytelling with tradition bearer, storyteller and Drut’syla Shonaleigh.
Over the course of a weekend, Shonaleigh will be telling tales of “Eve’s Three Beautiful Daughters” We will learn about the treasure of herbs that Eve brought out from paradise, and the adventures of her three daughters as they carry this knowledge out into the world.
Shonaleigh is one of Europe’s leading storytellers. She holds the Drut’syla tradition – a living unbroken oral tradition passed down from grandmother to granddaughter.
Having learned the Drut’syla tradition from the age of four, she carries about 4000 oral stories from the Jewish tradition and shares their magic, mystery and wisdom with audiences around the world. An evening in her company is always extraordinarily memorable and this weekend will be no exception.
Stories will begin on the Friday evening, shared throughout Saturday and finish on Sunday afternoon. The weekend will be partially catered: please bring food to share on Friday evening. We will provide a simple lunch on the Saturday and Sunday, and teas and snacks. Dinner on the Saturday evening will not be catered for.
