Climate crisis is not the new normal. It is a conflict that must be resolved, and each one of us can play a part in this resolution. Traditional stories can give us the keys to how we can accomplish this challenge. Current day examples of people reversing the adverse effects of climate change show us it is possible.
Climate Change Steward, Bowen Lee, will tell some tales to get you thinking, motivate and inspire you, and help you carry out your own climate change stewardship. Whether you are actively doing your best to help the planet, or wondering where to start, or not convinced anything needs to be done at all, you are invited to attend this evening of stories of hope and encouragement.
Saturday, October 28th at 7:00 PM in the 1762 Hennepin space. Tickets: Adults $10; Children 10-17, $5

Storytelling can play a major role in educating, informing, sparking conversations, and moving people towards taking actions for a more sustainable world. This course can help you craft stories that spark conversations about the environment and our role as stewards of the Earth. Stories can help inspire and guide us to do better for the planet, and can help us talk to others in a way that they can listen and acknowledge something needs to be done.
Learn stories that can stir people into wanting to do something positive for the planet, because the good news is that people can undo the damage to the environment that we’ve caused. How to design and tell stories that invite others to be active participants in healing our planet. Have dialogues that help people understand, no matter what their viewpoint or political persuasion, that they can help to heal the Earth and make positive contributions for the sake of humanity and all living beings.
