The Story of Season 15: Metamorphosis
Bringing home the gift of rebirth.
Season 15 (2023-24)
“The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch.” – Carl Jung
We stood at the beginning of Season 14 with just the bones of our community remaining following years of challenge amidst a global pandemic.
We dared to create something audacious from those ashes, just as each of us have done in our own lives at countless junctures.
In coming together from that commitment to hope, we curated thirteen unique, immersive experiences interweaving the gifts of five female thought leaders, four poets, eight musicians, and eight visual artists.
The success of our season of rebirth reflects our own inherent human nature, to rise to the opportunity to become transformed through adversity.
In planning for Season 15, we asked, “What next?” In Joseph Campbell’s monomyth of the hero’s journey, after death and rebirth we must integrate the gifts of that experience, bringing them home to benefit our community.
This is our aim.
We have crafted the experiences ahead to spark transformation, by supporting each of us in bringing our talents, our gifts, and our strength to the challenges and opportunities that lie at our feet.
