Folktales and EcoVillages: An Evening of Stories and Conversation
Note: This webinar is intended for adults as the stories will include more complex themes.
Can stories help us think about community? Storyteller and folklorist Lee-Ellen Marvin will share a few carefully selected stories from folklore as well as lived experience at EcoVillage. The stories serve as springboards for a conversation about community experiences, tensions, and successes. The discussions will focus on:
• How folktales reflect community values
• Key social challenges of living in community
• Ways to enhance community experience through the arts
