🌿 DIONYSIAN MYSTERIES
A women-only evening 🍷🌙
What happened when women left behind the household, everyday life and their social roles and went up into the mountains?
What was the role of women in Dionysian rituals?
What did it mean to be a Maenad, a priestess, or a member of a thiasos?
And what might ecstasy, desire, sisterhood, nature and transformation mean to us today?
This Saturday, we’ll gather for an experiential evening inspired by the world of Dionysus.
🍷 We’ll taste one w**e and explore its connection to the Dionysian experience.
📜 We’ll discover ancient sources, stories and fragments about women and the Dionysian Mysteries.
🎭 We’ll move from discussion into theatre, creating short improvised scenes and characters inspired by the Maenads, priestesses, Pentheus and the Bacchae.
🌙 And we’ll open a space to explore what it means to step — even for a little while — outside our everyday identities and into another role.
📍 Heraklion, Crete
📅 Saturday, September 26

A night of women, w**e, ancient stories, theatre, conversation and a little… Dionysian chaos.
