How do we court them? In a time of strip-lit\, rational thinking\, how could we as modern people cultivate an etiquette of the uncanny? From his years living in a tent through to his life now\, UK mythologist Dr. Martin Shaw will weave personal experiences up through any number of stories from the very edge of the fire. \nNo evening on the Codes tour is quite the same as the last\, though each is sure to be electrifying. In the tradition of the old Celtic Seanchai\, Shaw works entirely in the moment\, with any number of tales he may produce from his crane-skin bag. It will be an uncommon gathering and filled with strange nutrients. \n  \nJOIN US FROM AROUND THE WORLD\nIN PERSON TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT – but we’ve got Stream of Consciousness delivering a beautiful high-definition multicamera livestream of the whole event. Join us from wherever you are in the world\, or even just from the comfort of your couch. \nLIVESTREAM DETAILS & TICKETS HERE \n  \nABOUT MARTIN SHAW\n\nDr. Martin Shaw is a celebrated international storyteller\, mythologist\, award-winning author\, and teacher. Dr. Shaw is widely regarded as one of the most exciting teachers of the mythic imagination. He is the author of seventeen books\, including the award-winning A Branch From The Lightning Tree\, Snowy Tower\, and Scatterlings: Getting Claimed in the Age of Amnesia. Director of the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK\, Shaw also devised and led the Oral Tradition course at Stanford University. His translations of Gaelic poetry and folklore (with Tony Hoagland) have been published in Orion Magazine\, Poetry International\, Kenyon Review\, Poetry Magazine\, and Mississippi Review. Current work includes The Nightingale and the Lion (a poetic rumination on the ecstasies\, secret traditions and love myths of the west)\, and Courting the Dawn: Poems of Lorca. The Irish Times call him “a Seanchai\, an interloper from the medieval\,” and Madeline Miller names him “a modern-day Bard.” \ndrmartinshaw.com \n  \nWHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID:\n“In a world that\, increasingly\, looks to set rigid boundaries around what is acceptable to think and feel\, Shaw’s work comes as relief\, like clear\, cold water from a rushing spring.”\n—The Sunday Times\, February 2023 \n“Martin Shaw’s work is so very beautiful. A new animal. His love of images is deep and contagious. In the passion of his search he makes up new words that seem as though we’ve always known them. His language is tasty and surprising. This elegant combination of very fresh\, free verse storytelling\, and a deep untangling of myth feels so alive. What will it do next?”\n—Coleman Barks\, author of The Essential Rumi \n“I can still remember the first time I heard Martin Shaw tell a story. The tale that emerged was like a living thing\, bounding around\, throwing itself at all of us there listening. I had never heard anything like it before. Martin is a one-off\, his work is urgent and necessary.”\n—Paul Kingsnorth\, author of The Wake \n“Eloquent and elegant\, Shaw offers an irresistible invitation into realms that hold the wisdom of\, not only survival\, but expanding into one’s sense of purpose.”\n—Malidoma Somé\, author of Of Water and The Spirit \n“How I love the intelligent\, poetic\, and wild way of his voice.”\n—Meredith Little\, co-author of The Way of the Vision Quest \n“A true master. Martin Shaw is one of the very greatest storytellers we have.”\n—Robert Bly\, author of Iron John \n“Martin Shaw is a conjurer\, a thirteenth century troubadour dropped in our midst. He breathes into his characters a beating pulse\, agile speech and bedazzling wit. Catch him any way you can.”\n—Eric Utne\, founder of The Utne Reader \n  \nABOUT OUR HOST\nThe School of Mythopoetics is a growing community of mythopoetic scholars\, practicing the arts of story\, myth\, ritual and wonder. \nYou might ask – what is myth·o·po·et·ics?\nThe practice and lens of using story\, poetry\, and myth to wrangle meaning for oneself and our collective journey. It’s the reawakening of the mythic imagination in modern times. \nHumanity is undergoing a great initiation right now.\nUncertainty is the increasing measure of our days. \nThe control-oriented maps of meaning fail us here.\nThese dark hollows are the terrain of soul. \nTo find our way\, we must learn to speak the soul’s language\, the mythopoetics that arise of birdsong\, of thunderstorm\, of crossroad\, of metaphor and myth. \nYour initiation will require you to court once again these wild Gods.\nThis School is a container for a regenerative cultural movement. \nwww.schoolofmythopoetics.com URL:https://sunsetlabs.ca/event/codes-from-the-old-world/ LOCATION:Sunset Labs\, 400 Herald Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8T 4R4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Community,Educational,Featured,Livestream,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sunsetlabs.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Shaw-FB-Cover-Facebook-Event-Cover.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230513T191500 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230513T230000 DTSTAMP:20260415T224653 CREATED:20230401T030255Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230401T030255Z UID:21220-1684005300-1684018800@sunsetlabs.ca SUMMARY:Caliente Salsa Saturdays DESCRIPTION:We are back with Caliente Salsa Saturdays- now the 2nd Saturday of every month!\n  \nEVENING TIMELINE\n8:15pm – Doors open!

Some successful\, others struggling. And I’ve gathered quite the assortment of success stories and strategies right from the horses’ mouths. This workshop is my best distillation and collection of those practices and stories. \nMy name is Tad Hargrave and I want to invite you to come and join us for this day-long workshop\, my signature event that I call Marketing for Hippies 101. \n \nIn general\, here’s who this workshop is for:\nYou’re in the Healing Arts or a Holistic Practitioner? Perhaps you’re a Therapist\, Massage Therapist or Body-worker\, Yoga Instructor\, Herbalist\, Shamanic Practitioner\, Life-Coach\, Meditation Teacher etc. \nAt its heart\, this workshop is all about exploring the question:\nToo much marketing (even by savvy\, conscious entrepreneurs) creates either no response or seems “over-hyped” and triggers a “used car salesman” reaction. \n \nSo . . . \nIn broad strokes\, in this day-long\, content-rich workshop you’ll learn how to: \nsell more of your products and services (without selling your soul).\nattract more of the clients you want (without ever sacrificing your integrity or spending a fortune).\nmake sure your marketing gets a positive response and creates warm feelings of trust.\nBut specifically\, while mingling with like-minded peers\, you’ll learn: \nthe Three Core Foundations and Seven Elements of Your Platform that you need to attract more – and better – clients\, with absolutely zero budget.\nthe Three Roles Of Marketing that any piece of marketing you ever do must play.\nthe core reason why most marketing feels bad (and exactly how to make sure that your marketing avoids it).\nthe only three kinds of potential clients you will ever meet\, and the exact approach you need to take with each of them.\nhow to have your ideal client approaching you\, instead of you chasing them.\n \n  \nPRICE: $25 deposit\n+Pay What You Want at the End.\nWhat does this mean?\n  \nYou pay $25 to secure your spot. Why a deposit for a PWYC event you ask? Well\, over the years I’ve come to find that people take a commitment more seriously when they pay for it. So that’s why the deposit. You are welcome to consider this deposit part of your PWYC fee. \nAnd then you get to enjoy the workshop and\, at the very end\, you can pay me whatever you’d like to pay. \nIf even the $25 deposit is too much\, please let us know. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. \nIt’s an honest-to-goodness\, decide-at-the-end\, no funny business\, pay-what-you-can/want deal. \nOR: Pay 3 instalments of $67. If you’d like to pay the full market value of this workshop but want to spread those payments out\, choose the 3-pay option! You’ll be charged $67 now\, and then you’ll receive an invoice from my PayPal account for 2 more payments of $67 in each of the following two months. \nOR: Pay a flat $200 market value fee for the workshop upfront. If that feels good and convenient for you\, please choose this option. It’s something that’s been requested a number of times so I’m trying it out\, but either way is fine by me. \n  \nTICKETS HERE\n  \nWhat to Have Handy:\nPen and paper\, or a fresh document on your computer.\nYour fee: Please be prepared to send me your PWYC fee at the end of the workshop via e-transfer (if you’re in Canada) or via PayPal. \nA reminder about cell phones:\nPlease remember to put your phone on silent or even turn it right off. I encourage you to make the effort to really be present in the virtual room during the workshop. There will be a couple of breaks to check for updates if you need to! \nWhat does the day look like?\nThis day is mostly lecture format with some Q&A as you learn the core content of my approach to marketing. \n  \n*PLEASE NOTE: Time listed in Pacific Time*\n10:00am-1:30pm – workshop (fifteen minute break halfway through)\n1:30pm-2:30pm – lunch\n2:30pm-6:00pm – workshop (five minute break half way through) \n— \nSo\, that’s it. If you have any questions\, feel free to email us at admin@marketingforhippies.com otherwise I hope to see you there. \nStay Human\,\nTad Hargrave\nFounder\, marketingforhippies.com \nPS: BONUS! When you register for this workshop you’ll get a copy of my ebook How to Start\, which sells for $20 in my online shop. This book is a practical and refreshing\, seven-step workbook to use when marketing feels gross and awkward (you can do it all in one lazy\, rainy afternoon and you’ll use it for the rest of the life of your business). \nHow to Start is a tiny workbook about a little idea that could make a big difference in every piece of marketing you ever do from here on. Here’s the little idea: what if you made the heart of your marketing strategy about how your marketing feels to you and others? \n  \nAbout Tad Hargrave\n \nTad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again). Since 2001\, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada\, the USA and Europe\, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses\, helping them grow their businesses (without selling their souls). In short\, he teaches ‘marketing for hippies’ centred on the notion that marketing can feel good and work. \nTad did improv comedy semi-professionally for 25 years\, co-ran Edmonton’s progressive community building network TheLocalGood.ca\, founded streetcarshows.com and the Jams program of yesworld.org. He speaks Scottish Gaelic and helped to launch and co-facilitate www.novascotiagaelsjam.com. \nHe is from Edmonton\, Alberta (traditionally known\, in the language of the Cree\, as Amiskwaciy [Beaver Hill] and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan [Beaver Hill House]) and currently lives in Duncan\, BC. His ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from Ukraine as well. He is drawn to conversations around culture-making\, politics\, history\, ancestry\, healing\, and how those all intersect. \nYou can learn more about Tad and his work at marketingforhippies.com \n  \nTICKETS HERE\n  URL:https://sunsetlabs.ca/event/marketing-for-hippies-101-2/ LOCATION:Sunset Labs\, 400 Herald Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8T 4R4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Community,Educational ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sunsetlabs.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/20230415-Marketing-for-Hippies.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230428 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230502 DTSTAMP:20260415T224653 CREATED:20230331T233030Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230331T235017Z UID:21196-1682661600-1682920799@sunsetlabs.ca SUMMARY:the Future of Children DESCRIPTION:The Future of Children Rewirement Training\nWith Phil Moore\, Author of The Future of Children\nCo-founder of Upland Hills School & Ecological Awareness Centre \n  \nDETAILS & TICKETS HERE\n  \nA 3-Day Virtual Training for Parents\, Educators and Outliers\n*NOTE: This event is VIRTUAL ONLY – NO LIVE AUDIENCE \nBy the end of this 3-day live virtual training with Phil Moore (author of The Future of Children)\, you will have an expanded toolbox of ideas and initiatives that you can apply in your classroom\, family or community immediately\, which will provide the life skills and preparation for these children to confidently & skillfully navigate the world of the unknown. \n  \nThe Core Themes\nThe Future of Children Rewirement Training will focus on three essential themes that have been put into practice for 50+ years.

Where you play with the rules rather than by them. An infinite game player plays to leave an invisible legacy in the hearts and minds of others.This kind of open heart—willing to give and receive\, attracts allies and seeds possibilities. For his entire life as a teacher\, husband\, father\, Granda\, mentor\, writer and leader\, Phil has been an artist of possibilities. This artistry opens doors\, forges bonds\, spreads inspiration and astonishing learning happens for everyone in his orbit. \nLearn more about Phil and his amazing legacy here. \n  \nThe Current Education System is Obsolete\nThe children who are being born today deserve schools that nourish their unique gifts. Currently\, children are being fed a diet of toxic information\, in a factory-like setting that is diminishing their light\, while feeding their anxiety. Teachers are leaving the profession in large numbers because they know the current educational model is failing to nourish & nurture children into higher possibilities of being and becoming. \n  \nIntroducing a Love-Based Approach to Education\nWhen inspired and empowered teachers are given the ability to create innovative\, comprehensive curriculum\, based on passion\, play and place – children flourish. A Love-Based Education begins as soon as the child is seen\, heard\, honoured and cherished. Our initiatives have contributed to creating new kinds of human beings. People who love to cooperate\, collaborate\, contribute and communicate their love for the natural world and for life in general. \n  \nI take great joy in commending Phillip Moore and his Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center to you. I’m personally convinced of the competence of Moore and his associates\, of their integrity and of their realistic commitment to society.\nBuckminster Fuller\nPhilosopher\, Futurist & Teacher \n  \nUpland Hills is one of the greatest schools in the world. I’ve never seen so many turned on kids in my life\, in any school setting. Friends\, love\, learning\, care…. These kids are going to grow up to be very different adults. They are hands on\, sensory rich…. growing up to be true\, deep\, wise\, interested human beings.\nJean Houston\nOne of the Principal Founders of the Human Potential Movement \n  \nDETAILS & TICKETS HERE\n  \n  \nHear what Jean Houston has to say about Phil’s work at Upland Hills School!:\n\n  URL:https://sunsetlabs.ca/event/the-future-of-children/ LOCATION:Stream of Consciousness (online only)\, Victoria\, BC\, Canada CATEGORIES:Community,Educational,Livestream ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sunsetlabs.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Future-of-Children-Rewirement-banner.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230425T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230425T203000 DTSTAMP:20260415T224653 CREATED:20230401T024347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230725T072658Z UID:21214-1682449200-1682454600@sunsetlabs.ca SUMMARY:Community GROOVE DESCRIPTION:What the world needs now is MORE FURIOUS DANCING!\nHey Beloved – the last was so much fun\, wanna dance again? \n  \nABOUT GROOVE\nDuring these uncertain times\, it is so important to keep moving your body and getting those feel good vibes flowing! \nLet’s come together to unite\, celebrate\, connect\, play\, heal\, and get healthy through dance.

Discover your true voice through an embodied practice\, engaging natural breath and resonance techniques guided by Peia. Learn to harness the power of your breath\, deepen and expand your breath capacity and sing from your core. Unlock the natural resonance of your voice and learn to direct sound\, and move it through the body as well as the room. Working with tools from the ancient Indian alchemy of Raga we will enter a deeply meditative practice known as ‘The Yoga of Sound.’ We also gain deeper understanding of the physical workings of the voice from Vocal Pedagogy (the science of the voice) and learn to sing with grace\, power\, flexibility and ease. \nThe First part of the workshop focuses on vocal embodiment and cultivation tools while the second part implements the tools via the learning of a song from the Celtic tradition. During our time together we will explore: \n\nSomatic & Embodiment tools to unblock both the singing and speaking voice & liberate our inherent expression of beauty and vitality.\nBreath meditations and techniques to return to our natural breath cycle\, which regulates the nervous system and helps to release trauma stored in the body.\nPractices to cultivate both resonance and volume without taxing or overworking the voice\nVocal Warm Ups and tools to stretch the vocal range gently\nVocal Care\nOne Song from the Celtic Tradition that will connect us to the rituals and way of life of these ancient people.\n\nIt is said that at its height the Celtic culture stretched from as far South as Turkey to the North of Scotland & Ireland. If you have European blood running through your veins\, there is a good chance that you share an ancestral connection to the Celtic Clans. This is an opportunity to dive into both the songs and the language of this ancient culture. \n  \nVOCAL WORKSHOP TICKETS:\n\nOnly 75 tickets available.

Peia will focus on the songs and stories she gathered during her studies\, as well as some old favorites. She will be joined by Irish & Appalachian fiddler Andrew Finn Magill. \n  \n“TO THE WELL”\n“I could sing in over 20 languages yet I knew not a single song from my family nor one word from their ancestral language. I lacked true north and something in me remained searching and rootless.” \nWith equal parts thirst\, gratitude\, and the kind of urgent\, grief-soaked willingness to peer into a deep well after long pilgrimage\, Peia stood on the west coast of County Kerry\, Ireland and held the songs of her ancestors in her mouth like so much bread after generations of famine. The result of years of study\, this is the tale of finding the source of an erased origin: a holy well of songs still as alive and vibrant as the good green hills\, as sturdy as the standing stones. \nIt is said culture can be forgotten in but two generations. Every modern person in the so-called west suffers from the legacies of colonization: a sense of separation from place-based lifeways that erupt from the land itself\, manifesting in the forms of dance\, foods\, rituals\, ceremonies\, folk arts – and song. \nAmnesia is a hallmark of our species\, but so is remembering.\nAnd to remember\, we must listen deeply. \nFor Peia’s To The Well Film Release and Concert Tour\, we invite you to come and to drink deeply from an ancient shared source. While we are all descendants of lands that gave shape and sound to our cultures\, we also need courage to confront what is reflected in the water. To go to the well is to take the long road back to ourselves. It is not an endeavor to do alone: this kind of healing happens in community. For this journey\, we will accompany you with some new and favorite songs\, yes\, but also a viewing of the short film followed by some Q&A from the audience. \n  \nABOUT PEIA\nPeia Luzzi is an American born song collector\, writer and multi-instrumentalist based in the mountains of Appalachia.
