SUMMARY:Myth\, Patterns & the Promise of a Quest - An Evening with Martin Shaw
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\n5-6:00pm: Welcome reception  | 6-6:45pm: Storytelling/presentation | 6:45-7:15pm: Discussion | 7:30pm Close and Book Signing \nCosponsored Dr. Torie’s Dental Shoppe and Manic Meadery/Gnosis Brewery \nOpen to the public. Registration required (includes a copy of Martin Shaw’s newest book). For questions\, please contact Margaux Taffet mtaffet@lumenchristi.org. \nLecture Description\n\nThe stories we remember do not begin with a day that was like the one before. They begin most often with an abrupt break from familiar patterns. They disrupt stagnation and suddenly we are in the grip of a new and sometimes startling adventure. \nIn this talk acclaimed mythographer Martin Shaw will balance both theory and experience\, whilst exploring the inner-rhythm of an old story and how they relate to traditional rites of passage. In fact he will argue that Christianity is itself fundamentally initiatory\, and designed to bring vocation and quest crashing into the life of believer. Have we subdued its challenging invitation? \nJoin the Lumen Christi Institute and St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church as they welcome Dr. Martin Shaw for an event celebrating the release of his new book Liturgies of the Wild.

SUMMARY:Mythmaking and the True Myth - A Conversation with Martin Shaw
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.  PLEASE CONTACT MARGAUX TAFFET (MTAFFET@LUMENCHRISTI.ORG) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE WAIT LIST.\n5:00pm: Cocktail reception | 6:00pm: Dr. Shaw’s presentation & storytelling | 6:45pm: Audience Q&A and conversation | 7:15pm: Book signing and close \nOpen to the public. Registration required (includes a copy of Martin Shaw’s newest book). For questions\, please contact Margaux Taffet mtaffet@lumenchristi.org. \nLecture Description\n\nThere’s an old Irish belief that if you aren’t wrapped in a cloak of story you will be unprepared for what the world will hurl at you. You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real\, grown\, human being.  \nWe live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Myths from antiquity are vivid in describing the conditions of life.  \nChristianity goes a step further in providing the most extraordinary example of how to live that life. Working out of examples from Arthurian and fairy tale motifs\, acclaimed mythographer Martin Shaw will show how\, if ‘all true is God’s truth’\, profound Christian resonances can be found in many mythic traditions.  \nHow do stories assist us in the making of a real human being? In troubled times how could we forge a deeper life? Join the Lumen Christi Institute as it welcomes Dr. Martin Shaw for an event celebrating the release of his new book Liturgies of the Wild.
