Chaise Levy
Chaise was born and raised in the homelands of the Tongva people, in Topanga, California. Topanga, “the place where the mountains meet the sea,” was the place that Chaise first encountered the power of words, story, and voices of the land. Chaise vividly remembers the first time that I heard the legends of the roundtable and the image of that young Arthur and wise Merlin was nurtured in my heart.
During his younger years, Chaise spent countless summers tutoring his tongue in the ways of poetry, acting in the plays of William Shakespeare, learning to put his body at the whims of the unbidden impulse in improv sketches, and devouring any book that he could get my hands on. His love of language, and story have been mirrored and deepened the arts of tracking, bird language, fire-by-friction. Chaise is deeply convinced that mythic gives us a door into the dreaming of the earth, and that if we imbibe the blood of dragons we will one day understand the voices of the birds.
Chaise’s study has taken him through a 3 year stint at the Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education, Dr. Martin Shaw’s School of Myth, the California Institute of Integral Studies and several years of mentorship with Andreas Kornevall.
Andreas Kornevall
Andreas Kornevall is an author, storyteller and ecological activist. He grew up in South America, Sweden and Switzerland, and now directs the Earth Restoration Service charity. In response to the sixth mass extinction, he was the catalyst behind the Life Cairn movement: memorials for species rendered extinct at human hands. As a storyteller, he works with old myths and fairytales which shine a torchlight on life’s journey; his stories tend to gravitate around the Norse material which have led him to lecture and perform in universities and other educational centres. He is also a prize-winning author, whose work has been published in magazines such as Resurgence, The Ecologist, Permaculture magazine and in the Dark Mountain series. He is a member of the 'Forn Sed' (Old Customs Association) in Sweden which works closely with ancient Norse culture, traditions and spirituality, unearthing old legends, forgotten folklore and endangered Norse languages.
His new book ‘Waking the Dragons” is out through Green Magic Publishing.
Through his charity he has planted over 200 woodlands in the United Kingdom and he has recently been voted by the University of Southern California as one of their 100 spiritual exemplars.
