What is "Marrowbone"?

God guard us ftom those thoughts men think
In the mind alone;
He that sings a lasting song
Thinks in a Marrowbone.
     W.B. Yeats

"Marrowbone" is an annual celebration of story and storytelling performed outside in the blaze of the autumn woods. The audience, in groups, travels a winding path peopled by storytellers, singers, dancers, musicians, and beings of the dreamtime. At at the end of the path: a pine wood, food and drink, companionship, a warm fire. After all groups have walked the storied path, all gather at the stage in the pine wood to listen to longer stories told by master storytellers, as we once did, long ago, and as so many of us still long to do.
