Calling Forth the Mythic Fire: An Evening of Wild Storytelling
"Grandfather Fire is the carrier of all the stories"

Please join Storyteller Brian Rohr as we engage in one of the oldest acts known to humans: listening to the old stories as a community shared in the ways of the oral tradition.

In his performance, Calling Forth the Mythic Fire: An Evening of Wild Storytelling, Rohr invites the listener to follow the ageless wisdom inherent in the old stories.  By calling on the mysterious energies of Grandfather Fire to hold this sacred evening, we may find ourselves being swept away to a time before time began.  Utilizing the drum and the spoken word, Rohr helps us journey to a place where we ourselves live, breath and dance among the ancient tales.


***About Storyteller Brian Rohr***


Brian Rohr is a Storyteller, Poet and Healing Arts Practitioner who resides here in the Pacific Northwest, recently moving from Port Townsend, WA to Portland, OR.

In 2007 he met mythologist and master storyteller Daniel Deardorff whose artistry convinced him to give up the steady life and move to the small rural town of Port Townsend, WA, to be mentored in the art and magic of performative mythology and storytelling.

Since this time, Rohr has toured as a featured teller for national audiences, taught and performed at major conferences, festivals, high schools, universities, synagogues and libraries.  The list includes: the 14th International Jewish Renewal Aleph Kallah; Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle; Illinois State University; Trickster Tales Storytelling Festival in Washington State; Tapestry of Jewish Learning in Austin, TX, the Puget Sound Mankind Project and more.

Rohr was recently named by JT News (the Jewish Newspaper of Washington State) as a "10 Under 40" recipient for 2013 - Honored as one of ten notable Jewish people in Washington under 40 years old who are doing important and inspirational works within the community, specifically honored as a storyteller.  

As a storyteller, Brian focuses on the old stories  the myths, folktales and fairy tales  from many different cultures, knowing that these old stories are alive, vital and can inform us on how to live our lives as authentic human beings, helping to make sense and meaning of the living world we are a part of.  

Rohr is a member of the National Storytelling Network, the Healing Story Alliance, the Portland Storytellers Guild and the Jewish Storytelling Coalition.
