The Song of the Troubadour

April 19-21, 2013, Derbyshire Hills

It is the Spring of 2013 and a group of pilgrims have gathered in the ancient landscape of the Derbyshire hills, refreshing themselves from their long journeys. Some are renewing old friendships, others are there for the first time. All are made welcome by their hosts at the fireside in the place of the Nightingale.

Unexpectedly, he doors open and into their company strides a Troubadour, holding the hand of a child. His presence seems to fill the room. Taking a grateful seat by the fire and glass of porter, he tells them that he is on an urgent journey to save the life of a King, and he asks that they look after the child for two days while he completes his mission. He explains that the child is very special – having never developed its personality, it remains a pure Being, a vessel of light that can see the world as it is, rather than clouded with the accumulated dust of life’s experiences. In return for their care, they may each ask one question of the child, but only one.

The pilgrims discuss how they might do this, both to help the Troubadour and aid their own spiritual quests. They elect a leader to focus the questions in a sequence that will throw light on their very existence, and the mysteries of their lives. Finally, they turn to the Troubadour and accept his request. He leaves, thanking them and saying he will return for the child on the day of the Sun.

Come and celebrate the launch of the Silent Eye School by joining us in this first ever esoteric workshop. Everyone is welcome, whether experienced or new to spiritual workshops. Through study, play and sacred drama we will explore the very nature of ourselves and our lives. Each person will play a single, scripted character through the whole weekend and help the company to achieve its quest.
