The Creatures That Teach
STORYTELLER SERIES: THE CREATURES THAT TEACH
*EACH NIGHT ONLY HAS 16 SPOTS ONLY*
$75/one session (includes harvest bag/guest and food)
$225/all sessions (includes 1 harvest bag/per guest/series, and food)
This is an intimate educational, and family friendly evening. With storytelling/making, a guided plant and creature walk, and delicious fire cooked food, and wild mint tea- all within the safety of a cozy cedar fire hut.
Our time and conversations will be all about the scary creatures that haunted our childhoods and maybe still do-
Each session is unique and you will learn about folklore creatures, ghost stories, and cryptids, to Wisakejak (Metis trickster), and other turtle island creature stories.
WHAT WILL WE DO?
6:00pm- 6:15pm
As the sun sets, we meet up at trail head, sign waivers and head off in to the forest.
6:15pm-7:00pm
You will learn about plants, animals, and creatures that help or hinder us. Post-hike, we will venture back to the enclosed, and insulated fire hut, for a waiting fire.
7:10-8:30
In our cozy fire hut you will hear multi-layered stories about the creatures that teach and terrify us-
The kind creatures that made us hide under the blanket, watch shadows for eyes, look for silence in the forest and learn about ever the adapting old ones that teach us;
what is safe and what is not.
