CHECK-IN: THE RETURN

Returned today (Wed. October 4) from Akron, Ohio, and my visit to Alchemy Inc.’s annual program start. This was a profoundly meaningful experience, on many levels. I am still digesting the experience, watching some of the video I was able to shoot. And the work that my friend Kwame Scruggs, with his team, and Michael Meade are doing with these young people is a sobering inspiration. The way these young people express their resonances with each story is on par with any reflections on Myth that I have ever been witness to, including my PhD studies in Myth.

Alchemy Inc., is something very important to recon with. I look forward to sharing further information about my experience of working with them. Check back for some wonderful video footage.

Love,

José Angel Santana

I'm on it.

I wish I knew who was posting.

No big deal.

But, yes I'm watching it now, and it's some very very cool stuff.

Best,
José

Jose,
Thanks for posting this. I didn't know about this group and now I'll go and check them out. Maybe I'll see you at their event next year.

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Michael Meade.

That would be very cool David.

I was somewhat awestruck by the experience of watching these very young boys express their resonances with the stories that Michael Meade told them, in his joyously distinctive way.

When you want I can put you in touch with Kwame Scruggs, the founder. And like I think I mentioned, Meade loved the Salt Journal.

I hope to have some video up here soon, so we can all see it.
