Discovering the Stories We Live By.Stories focus our attention, organize our resources, give us meaning, a sense of place, and—when they are in turmoil—can lead to wholly changed lives. They are like the great wind behind our sails and have been so since the first literature of Homer and Genesis. Today, we have the consciousness to change these stories and create new meaning. Craig Barnes first began to use stories as a trial lawyer, and then in 15 years of international negotiations, and finally as the author of In Search of the Lost Feminine, an award-winning study in cultural anthropology. The Place: Mabel Dodge Luhan House, Taos, New Mexico, is an historic inn and conference center that has accommodated many of the great art and literary minds for the past eighty years. Its rich cultural heritage is enhanced by adobe charm, quiet patios and tree-lined acequias. The Dates: Friday evening, March 6 through noon, Monday, march 10, 2008. The costs: Fee includes lodging, all meals, tips, and semar materials including two books. The facilitators: Craig Barnes is a former trial attorney, now an author, playwright, lecturer and public radio commentator. Craig's book, pulbished by Fulcrum, In Search of the Lost Feminine: Decoding the Myths that Radically Reshaped Civilization, has been awarded the USA BEst Books Award, (cultural anthropology), was the First Runner Up for the Eric Hoffer Award (culture), and a finalist for Foreword Magazine's Best Book of 2006 in Women's Studies.
