Come spend a day considering and practicing the craft of translating our experiences in nature into stories we can share throughout so many aspects of our lives.
Whether you work or volunteer in environmental sustainability, conservation, or outdoor recreation or you are a nature lover wanting to delve into how you express the meaning you find in the natural world, this workshop and paddle is for you.
We will paddle from Harpswell to Whaleboat Island. Throughout our trip we will shape a personal story, explore storytelling techniques, and practice together how we each uniquely craft a story. And we will spend time paddling and enjoying the beauty of the Maine coast throughout the entire day.
We are offering this because we care about the natural world and about the sharing of life through story. Come join us on this adventure and opportunity to learn more together about nature, storytelling, and the intersection of the two.
