THE LIVING TREE - Stories in Art, Movement and Self

WORKSHOP

Quietly, trees grow into and through our lives. From childhood adventures, to peaceful retreats, to the mystery of the deepwoods, trees are there through all our ages. Many of us have our own special, individual trees or beloved woodlands. Drawing on many sources and media, this workshop will explore our personal and creative relationships with trees. Starting with traditional stories, we'll take time to talk, to share our own stories, to listen and draw and write and grow those individual tree stories into a communal, ceremonial forest
