This Being Human
The Original GuestHouse & Rumi Stories with Duncan Macintosh.
Proceeds to Medical Aid in Palestine
An evening commemorating the history of the GuestHouse Storytellers and a fundraiser for Gaza.
In the first part of the evening, Xanthe, Kate and Nick will be honouring the Hawthorn Tree in story and song, and the founding members of the club – Anne-Marie, Elizabeth and Umi, along with Wendy (who joined us later, but seems to have been with us in spirit from the beginning will each tell a story.
GuestHouse was named and founded after a Rumi poem.
This being human is a guesthouse
Every day a new arrival…
In the second half Duncan Macintosh, who has a long association with the Club having been one of our early tellers, will perform a spontaneous blend of Rumi tales and aspects of Rumi’s life.
“I am burning with the love of God! Does anyone need a light?”
Duncan has worked with this material for decades, but every performance brings something new, allowing Rumi’s heart-nourishing wisdom, passion and humour to be communicated afresh.
To perform this material, to let it come through one’s body and soul, is in itself a privilege, an arduous fire, and a blessing. Duncan Macintosh
Eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart, the ancient art of storytelling is both timeless and contemporary. Guesthouse is committed to sharing dynamic, charismatic performance storytelling within a community context.
