Upcoming Events
"A Word of Tree, a Whisper of Water and Stone."
Sunday, October 8th, 2:00PM
Come take an easy hike out to greet the giant old meadow sycamore and sit around the campfire. In the circle there will be stories: we may meet a giant, a shape-changing serpent, an oak who calls for justice, or a river who falls in love with a nymph. We may wonder what arbor vitae trees wonder about. From forest and borderland, in ancient myths almost lost forever, nature will say things we no longer can.
Meet at the Education Area
