SUMMARY:Shute Festival - Fairy Tellers and Folk Tales
DESCRIPTION:With NICHOLAS JUBBER AND LISA SCHNEIDAUClick here for tickets \n\n\n\nNicholas Jubber and Lisa Schneidau will be in conversation with Festival co-director\, Bijan Omrani about the history\, stories and people behind our fairy and folk tales.​Nicholas Jubber is the author of five non-fiction books\, including The Prester Quest (winner of the Dolman Travel Book Award) and Epic Continent (shortlisted for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book Award). He has travelled around the Middle East\, Central Asia\, North and East Africa and Europe\, and written about his experiences for publications including the Guardian\, Daily Mail\, Irish Times and BBC Online. \n\n\n\nJubber’s latest book\, The Fairy Tellers\, explors the lives of seven tellers of traditional tales. It swings from a Neapolitan soldier-of-fortune who compiled Europe’s first integral fairy tale collection\, to the woman who wrote ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and a Russian folklorist who became involved in a plot to assassinate the Tsar. Travelling from Kashmir to Scandinavia\, this new history of fairy tales offers a fresh\, international interpretation of a beloved genre. It has been described as ‘riveting’ by the Financial Times\, ‘captivating’ by BBC History and ‘fascinating’ by the New European. \n\n\n\nLisa Schneidau is an author\, storyteller and environmentalist based on Dartmoor. She seeks out\, and shares\, traditional stories about the land and our complex relationship with it. Lisa’s earlier books include Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland and Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland. Lisa trained as an ecologist and has worked in British nature conservation for over twenty-five years\, in roles as diverse as farm advisor\, lobbyist and conservation director.​Lisa Schneidau’s latest work\, River Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland\, takes a dive into the rivers\, lakes\, ponds and wetlands of Britain and Ireland\, at a time when our rivers are in real trouble. Expect traditional tales of river gods\, monsters and fairy folk\, laced with a good dose of human error and a splash of irreverent humour!

SUMMARY:Embercombe Rewilding Camp: Beyond the Fence
DESCRIPTION:This summer we are coming together to celebrate the exciting new journey that we are embarking on at Embercombe: An Exploration of Rewilding and Regeneration of land and people. This event is in partnership with the global ecosystem restoration movement\, Ecosystem Restoration Camps. \nComing together for 4 days this August 16th to 19th\, this is a kick off celebratory launch event of the new rewilding direction\, and we are inviting you to join us on this journey from the very beginning. The event will be split into 4 themes for the 4 days: Exploring Rewilding\, Flora and Fauna\, Rewilding the Self\, and Rewilding Society. \nTogether we will learn about what rewilding is and what it means for a context where humanity plays a key role and is embedded into the landscape\, rather than fenced out of it. We will learn from top practitioners in this field such as Laura Fairs\, ex Wildlife Trust and now the new Rewilding Lead at Embercombe as she takes us through what rewilding is and how it can be implemented on a small scale\, sharing Embercombe’s rewilding vision. \nWe will have the chance to ‘meet our kin’\, getting to know what is already living at Embercombe (trees\, birds\, plants) and how they interact with each other. We will take you on an exciting trip to Rewilding Coombeshead\, Derek Gow’s rewilding farm in North Devon\, where he will show you around and explain the rewilding practices and techniques that he has introduced\, as well as having the chance to meet the rare and fascinating species that he is reintroducing (beavers\, white storks and lynx!). \nWe will enjoy a summer barbeque as we learn how to conduct tests to collect data on soil health and biodiversity with bugs\, bats and reptiles\, taking our bat detectors into the woods at dusk and meet the moths at sunrise. \nThe last two days will focus on how we can live wilder and more connected lives and how we can reimagine and reinvent a wilder society. Mac Macartney\, founder of Embercombe and international inspirational speaker who weaves ancient indigenous insights together with modern 21st century ideas will share his vision and practices for rewilding the self. \nThe afternoon will be guided by Alana Bloom from Regenerating Rhythms and Gaia Harvey Jackson\, both experienced facilitators of practices that will help you tune in what inner rewilding looks\, smells\, and feels like and how you can incorporate these into your everyday lives. We will finish our evening with tales of the wild things from storyteller Lisa Schneidau. \nThe final day will look at the fundamental stories and belief systems that our society tells that have created the depleted landscapes that we live in today. Guided by Ashleigh Brown from Ecosystem Restoration Camps\, we will deconstruct these stories and write and perform new ones together that are able to birth the rewilded world that our hearts desire. \nThis unique event will give you the chance to get under the skin of rewilding our landscapes\, our hearts\, our minds\, our communities and our world as we gather together under the summer sun. Don’t miss it.
