"The Trickster: How this Ancient Archetype Helps Us to Imagine a Better World"

The Trickster, a character who animates and enlivens humanity’s oldest stories, is frequently misunderstood. Wander and wonder with author Shepherd Siegel through the paradoxes, art, tricks, backfires, pranks, pratfalls and messianic acts that together form this indestructible component of our collective psyche. We’ll share our own personal encounters with tricksterism and come to an understanding of how the journey from moral indeterminacy to moral discovery can inspire us to imagine and create a better world. Program is part of the Asotin County Library's annual Wine & Wisdom series at Basalt Cellars and made possible with support from Humanities Washington.
