Story Telling Eight Moons

THE HUNTER AND VISIONS WITH THE POISON PLANTS

“There were these eight visions that the hunter had just as soon as he had spoken with the plant that grew from the crevice beneath the birch tree…

He was asked by the Elder Spirit of the plant to make four bamboo vessels into which the Rainbow Woman from the great skies above would hide her eight stories…”

In this session series, Koitso continues the tales from the Eight Moons Project and takes a deeper travel into the shamanic world of sacred plants, their sounds and songs of the other side…

Using ritual music and native ceremonial sounds, the session is a yet another wonderful exploration of the Earth in her most sacred essence…

The Eight Bamboo Visions and Stories of the Yeti is an enchanting storytelling series which brings together a very rare collection of original and traditional stories by Koitso, delicately woven into a session of mountain sounds and music. The stories not only provide a beautiful way to explore the elusive Himalayan cultures but also open doors to experience the ancient traditions where stories become sacred and guides for inner transformation.

Based on a traditional tale of a hunter who spent 8 moons (around 240 days) across the four corners of the world in search of stories to heal the rivers in his Himalayan highlands, the journey too takes us around the globe in storytelling, meeting various oral cultures and including theirs along the way
