This is the beginning of his immram, an oversea journey to the Otherworld. Along the way, he meets Manannán Mac Lir, the god of the sea, and they eventually reach Tir na mBan, the Island of Women. IN THIS EPISODE This story of Bran throws the typical hero’s journey on its head as he cannot return home with the elixir because time works so differently in the otherworld Silver Branch Perception, a way of seeing the world described by the Irish mystic-philosopher-scholar John Moriarty (author of Dreamtime and Invoking Ireland ) My experiences with the Bard Mythologies Summer School, which carries Moriarty’s work forward today Reflections on traveling to the ancestral homeland of Ireland, including the art of arriving there fully, the pain of leaving, and the unique challenges of returning home again What it means to be “fully in yourself” as you travel and as you move through your everyday life  How my own life is changing on the other side of my own homecoming: homeschooling my younger daughter
