A re-creation myth for our times.
When a sisterhood of deities leave their celestial homes to find out why Earth’s light has gone out, they discover that her inhabitants have made such a mess of things that they’ve retreated to their former caves in shame and fear. The goddesses resolve to set things right, each believing they have the one and only solution to rescue the little blue planet.
When one of the goddesses chooses to use her intuition instead of her ego to help the earth, she is chastised by the others for being a dreamer with no sense. Hurt but undeterred, she resolves to trust herself and the wisdom of the planet she loves so much. By tuning into the signs and various tools given to her from Earth herself, she makes a great discovery that changes everything and brings each element she’s gathered along the way together for a higher purpose.
A story about empathy, following one's heart, and never taking the simple things for granted,
The Dreaming Gourd
reminds us that no one can go it alone and that dreams are what make life so very precious.
It’s a call to action for anyone who feels lost or small in this great big world: everyone is needed, and together we can accomplish anything.
