About Sacred Groves:
Folktales and Songs of the Deep Spirit of Trees

Storytelling, music and song form an enchanting weave in this story and harp performance celebrating the deep spirit of trees. Clothed in the rich metaphors of myth, these humorous and heartfelt traditional tales reawaken our imagination to the deep wonder and beauty of the forest. Stories include “Kansakura,” a delicate tale of love centered around the honored cherry trees of Japan, “The Dancing Spirit of the Birch” from Czechoslovakia and “Three Green Ladies,” a poignant legend about the ancient tree spirits of Cornwall, England. Refreshing and lyrical each piece is surrounded by evocative music from the culture, Celtic harp and song.

Your registration includes eleven folktales told by various artists. Also, three Story Eco-tours (Brazil, India, & Arctic Canada) weaving together story, science, and their natural worlds. Additionally, seven ‘Spotlight’ full length solo eco-story shows. All these ‘on-demand’ programs are available with your registration.
