Eros and Mythos

Love is in the Air for our Sunday Assembly Valentine’s Special! To help us celebrate this most passionate of occasions, we welcome real-life husband and wife duo, Lonan Jenkins and Jodie Powell to delight us with tales of luuuurrve steeped in ancient mythology.

A far cry from the 'Disney-fied' ‘Happily ever after’ narrative, mythological tales of love and eroticism are often steeped in grief and tragedy. In most of Greek mythology, love is the driving force behind a character’s action, and is there to teach us about trust, devotion and forgiveness, and how to navigate the grand themes of life and loss.

Lonan is a professional story-teller and independent celebrant, specialising in weddings, whilst Jodie is a multi-talented artist, poet, singer and performer. Together they run, ‘Rooted Revelry’, a pop -up event, offering intimate storytelling, performance poetry, live art, live music and workshops that honour the changing seasons.
