Shire of Rising Stone Presents
Menhir 2010: Lost Horizons: Outliers, Frontiers and Heresies

UPDATED: Schedule and Class Description
UPDATED: Feast Description and Ingredients List for Lunch
 
UPDATE: Pickup Heavy Fighting Weather Permitting (and weather should permit)

Come one, come all, to Rising Stone's annual Menhir collegium, and join us in studying and celebrating the cultures outside the traditional realms of the Western European medieval world. This is the place to learn about history and artistry of the Rus, North Africa, Mongolia, Greenland, Byzantium, the Near and Far East, India and Vinland, and to explore the heretical thought of those, like the Cathars, who lived within the bounds of the West, but departed from its ideals. With classes from costume and cookery to metalsmithing and history, we promise one of the most fun and informative events we've ever held.

As is tradition with Menhir, there will be a lunch time feast for approximately 150—a delicious culinary tour of the lands beyond the West created by Mistress Una and Baron Hrolf. Weather allowing, some accidental outdoor fighting may break out in the afternoon, as always happens in Rising Stone.

More information, class listings and feast menu coming soon at risingstone.org. (Anyone wishing to teach, please contact Mistress Maudeleyn.)
