Opis

As winter approaches in the Adelaide Hills, Roisin Clare finds herself swept up in a new cycle of energy and purpose. On the cusp of turning forty-two, she is stepping out with her first solo art exhibition after years of deep inner work healing from trauma and grief. At her Exhibition Opening and in the presence of a loving community of friends and wise elder women, Roisin meets the young musician, Adam Wrenshaw, a Culann of the Pictish Spirit Tradition of which she is Priestess. Despite the difference in age between them, Adam demonstrates an unwavering interest in her and Roisin realises that in the space of a heartbeat, everything can change. 'Mist' is an adventure in love and intimacy. As an expression of hope amidst a climate of cultural sadism and the continuing forces of Dominator ideology in the modern world, 'Mist' is a journey of erotic and therefore personal healing beyond the emptiness of 'all's fair in love and war'. Painting a vision of an ordinary life lived in the presence of Goddess and the responsibility that invokes, 'Mist' offers a possibility for life released from the entrenched patterns of domination and submission, violence, and the eroticisation of violence.
