"Story Weaver" is for people who want to tell and/or listen to stories told in and about the natural world in the oral tradition.
Once a month we invite you to gather with like minded folk and tell a short story about or inspired by the Natural world. Stories may be true, fictional, or mythic. They may be inspired by history, fairytale/legend/folklore, personal experience, observation, family history etc. They may be sad, dramatic, funny, wise, or exciting.
We ask that your stories are in some way related to nature, the wild, or ecology. They may even be stories about plants, animals, rivers, stones, etc. with no human presence at all.
Attendance is welcome whether you wish to tell a story or just listen to stories being told.
Free with paid park entrance. Please meet in the Gallery at the Loess Hills Lodge.
