So begins Dante’s Divine Comedy, the great psychopomp narrative of the indigenous Mediterranean imagination.Dante travels through the 3 great realms: Inferno (the Underworld), Purgatoria (this middle Earth), and eventually to Paradisio (the Starry Heavens).Each realm as real and distinctive as it is mythical and necessary. This is a story that turns tragedy into comedy, amnesia into remembering, vice into virtue, and exile into sojourn. Come join me for a radical and wisdom-tempered telling of Dante’s great pilgrimage through the alchemical vessel of Earth School & its adjacent realms. These be the tales that help illuminate and make-meaning of the world as we enter into the crossroads of 2026. E Quindi Uscimmo A Riveder Le Stelle: “And then we came forth once more to behold the stars.”-What is Stories from Stardust?A one of a kind story-telling, stargazing deep-dive that braids together myth, cosmology & poetics with intellectual history, cultural remembering, practical astronomy & heart-centered teachings. These events are a form of ritual attunement that weave together imagination, landscape, cross-cultural star-lore, wonder, ancient perceptions & an alchemical courting of the night sky. I tell stories the way our ancestors did: under the night sky, around a fire, along shorelines, communing with the treasure trove of constellational images and folklore that is our starry heavens. Doing it this way is an inheritance that reaches deep into an embodied culture of belonging and plucks the long-forgotten heartstrings of the human psyche.-Date: Monday, April 6thTime: 6:30pmWhere: 417 Dakin St, New Orleans, LA - Alethia’s Nest, RiverbendSuggested donation: $12-36, no one turned away for lack of fundsYou can Venmo @MedicineOfTheStarryHeavens, book a ticket here, or bring cash the night of the event.**Please follow @MedicineOfTheStarryHeavens on Instagram or Facebook for event updates.Bring warm clothes, cushions, blankets, chairs, whatever you need to be comfy and open to the medicine of the starry heavens...-Frank Salzano is an astrologer, cultural astronomer & storyteller that focuses on old-world astrology, cross-cultural star myths, and celestial folklore.Learn more at www.medicineofthestarryheavens.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/jefferson/the-sojourn-into-purgatoria-a-telling-of-dantes-divine-comedy/100001986475836702 - **Event Categories**: comedy, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 44.17, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Jefferson - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: Alethia’s Nest, Riverbend - **lat**: 29.9566808 - **long**: -90.13583369999999 - **full address**: Alethia’s Nest, Riverbend, 417 Dakin Street, Jefferson, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Sojourn Into Purgatoria: A Telling of Dante's Divine Comedy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/fc3943f29a151f7f2e6e533eb4b509b75a28ba4c9fb3fbcce473c073c84def25-rimg-w1200-h676-dcaf362f-gmir.jpg?v=1775088848 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Sojourn Into Purgatoria: A Telling of Dante's Divine Comedy being held? - **A:** The Sojourn Into Purgatoria: A Telling of Dante's Divine Comedy takes place on Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Alethia’s Nest, Riverbend, 417 Dakin Street, Jefferson, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Sojourn Into Purgatoria: A Telling of Dante's Divine Comedy? - **A:** Tickets for The Sojourn Into Purgatoria: A Telling of Dante's Divine Comedy are priced at USD 44 per person.
