Story Weaver | October

"Story Weaver" is for people who want to tell and/or listen to stories told in and about the natural world. It is also for musicians, poets, and thinkers. Participants are welcome to tell or read stories, share a poem, or perform a song related to the natural world. Attendance is welcome whether you wish to partake or just listen.  

Stories or songs may be true, fictional, or mythic. They may be inspired by history, fairytale/legend/folklore, personal experience, observation, or even family. They may be sad, dramatic, funny, wise, or exciting. We ask that your contribution is in some way related to nature, the wild, or ecology, such as plants, animals, rivers, stones, etc.

Free with paid $5/vehicle park entrance or membership. Please meet in the Heartwood Pavilion.
