August 24-26, 2007

Come,  come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even  though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet  again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair
~ Rumi

The East and the  West have been discovering and rediscovering each
other for centuries. Rome  knew of strange peoples to the East they
called Seres, the Silk People, who  created the ethereal fabric favored
by wealthy Roman women. Gold flowed from  the Empire in rivers so Roman wives 
displayed more of their bodies then  Roman husbands felt strictly necessary. 
 
Surprisingly,  the Roman Senate tried to ban silk on both moral and economic  
grounds.

Tigers, panthers and horses, paper, spices and jewels, slaves,  musical
instruments and religions traveled from one end of the known world  to
the other in the name of commerce and changed history in  remarkable
ways.

Come explore some of those ways with us as we  celebrate Sacred Stone's
Baronial Birthday in opulent style. We will learn  and teach in classes
and competitions of many sorts all the while watching  the best of
Sacred Stone's populace and talent vie for championship  honors.
