William Cooper: I follow an eclectic inter-faith path of Celtic, Aborginal, Wiccan, Native American (Totemic),
Buddhist and Taoist influences. My interest lies in engendering and revitalizing
awakening, release and remembering through:
- creation/rediscovery of sacred space and interface
- reintegration of belief
- reconnection to tribal, totemic, and shamanic ancient and instinctive primal energies
- the pursuit of balance, non-attachment, and wholistic integration along a conscious life journey.
|
My life's work concerns the intersection point where "Belief" meets "Story",
where the personal, ritualistic, cultural, and global concepts of "Mystery",
"Myth", and "Magick" meets the underlying flows of external and internal
dreamtimes and otherworlds. I believe most strongly in the Invisible, both the Overarching
Unconscious and the Unnameable Undercurrents.
I explore this space through interfaith/multi-cultural pursuits,
and artistic/spiritual expression along many channels:
|
|
| - |
|
fiction/storytelling (performance and non-performance based) |
| - |
|
music (vocal and world percussive) |
| - |
|
creative non-fiction |
| - |
|
non-fiction |
| - |
|
media production and web design/development |
| - |
|
workshop teaching/facilitating |
|
| In addition, I'm always open to new avenues of expression and collaboration. |
