Sutradhar

Literally, the holder of string. But also, the teller of stories in the world of classical Sanskrit. He is of this world of illusions – Maya. And yet he is the herald of truth – Satya.
Simultaneously looking forward and backwards, a Sutradhar is he who is the bridge between two worlds, two realities. He who owns nothing. But is the repository of all knowledge.
Paro’s Sutradhar is she who takes us towards our ancestral wisdom. The one who unearths and illuminates what we have forgotten. This is where we return to our roots and rituals. The stories are told in one voice.
The stories are told in many voices. Because cultural knowledge is a shared heritage and we are all keepers and inheritors and messengers of that knowledge. We are all Sutradhars.

Moon Rhythms: Mauni Amāvasyā
An alignment with the Moon and its many phases is instinctive for our body, emotions and our moods. It is in our conscious minds that we seem to have lost conscious awareness of this connection with the lunar cycle, one of the most visible cycles of the natural world.
