RJ Stewart

[arethinn]

Woot! In addition to an appearance at Pantheacon, there are two RJ Stewart workshops in Santa Cruz and two in Berkeley which I can attend this year! (There's another which happens to be over the same weekend I will be at Walking the Thresholds.) Generally, in the past, all the workshops seem to have been in places quite inaccessible to me given the amount of money I already spend on travelling, the hassle of needing time off work to get there and get home, not having been able to rent a car, etc. So woo!

Now, I seriously doubt I will be planning to go to all four. That would cost $720 (!). But I really think I should go to at least one.

There were several in Maryland; is that more accessible?

cool... have you attended any of his workshops before? what do you think of them? i've only read his UnderWorld Initiation, which is one of the few really good books around... and like to know if he provides this much depth in his workshops...

I have never been to one of his workshops before (see complaints about their always being far away), but I doubt they're anything but wonderful. I was balking at the $180 fee at first, but then I realized it works out to a per-hour rate actually slightly less what I am paid, and as I'd surely say he was worth more than I am on the subject, I hardly feel I can argue. ;)

As for books: Underworld Initiation is the first of a trio of books, the other two being Earth Light and Power Within the Land; the ideas are continued in The Living World of Faery but it's not strictly part of the "set". If you have enough interest in this, you might like being on the RJS book discussion list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rjs_books/) at Yahoo, although we're getting pretty close to finishing up discussion of Underworld Initiation. There is also a more general list called Inner Temple (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rjstewart_innertemple/)).

===Mr. Stewart is quite charming, and I highly recommend his classes.

===If you get the chance, he also plays the Psaltry...and occasionally has given performances the day before his classes if you keep an ear open for them.
