What does it take to open?

But first, a story she didn’t get to tell in her Women Who Run With the Wolves group last week. From there, Sarah moves into the myth she and theatre director Joanna Proctor have chosen as the heart of a new immersive mythic experience they’re co-creating: Echo and Narcissus. Stripped of her words by Hera, able only to repeat what she hears. Him, raised without mirrors, learning to see himself only through the reactions of others — and never quite satisfied. Sarah tells the story with stillness and depth, then unpacks why it speaks so urgently to now: the loneliness of needing external reflection to feel real; the inner voice that cannot find its way out. Sarah shares brainstorming notes from her day with Joanna, including the question that really got her: What do we reject when we remember we are worthless? And she reads aloud her own visioning of the evening — origami birds, torn pages, the line from Clarissa Pinkola Estés: “If you don’t go into the woods, your life will never begin.” Also mentioned: A new Women who Run Wih the Wolves group in Glastonbury Story Wintering group coming soon, in person and online.
