SUMMARY:No Fair Maidens with Kim Willis
DESCRIPTION:Monday 15th June\, 7.30pm\, Naval Room\, The Archangel \nJoin us for an evening with author Kim Willis as she explores the\, often overlooked\, powerful female figures from ancient British history. Kim will be in conversation with local author\, Alice Albinia. The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. \nAs Kim Willis drifts from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood\, she yearns for a new set of stories to light her way. Here\, she is pulled towards the source of the Severn\, hearing whispers of ancient matriarchs: shape-shifting enchantresses\, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands. These are no fair maidens\, but powerful warrioresses and animalistic beasts\, snaking along the edges of watery places where we meet the otherworld in the shadows. \nAs she uncovers the ancient myths hidden in the rugged landscapes of the British Isles\, the stories of women like Arianrhod\, Melusine and Cerridwen awaken a forgotten power. Journeying from the Severn to Skye\, Eryri to Northumberland\, Kim discovers new magic in the tales of old\, unveiling forgotten truths about grief and healing\, while charting a new course through sisterhood and sexuality\, fertility and freedom. Through the threads of folklore\, history and landscape\, Kim identifies a better way of being for modern women\, and crafts a new vision for Britain where women are – and always were – a force of nature. \nKim Willis has spent twenty years working as a strategist\, journalist and experience designer\, with a focus on gender\, creativity and story. \nBooks will be for sale at the event and Kim will be available for dedications.
