The Fire Within: The Stories the Earth Speaks Through Us
We are at a time when we are being called to put focus on our relationship to the Earth, the fires burn loud to draw and keep our attention. Overwhelmed, seeming like nothing can be done, we unite to touch into the complexities of our relationship to the Earth, to ourselves as an expression of the land, to our desire to exist in harmony. The journey of climate crisis and justice is full of all that life offers and with it comes many stories and the spectrum of emotion.
The Fire Within: Stories the Earth Speaks Through Us will be an improvised InterPlay performance where we explore the fullness of the climate justice story from our own lived experience – the grief and fear in the destruction in equal part to the precious connection we nurture as part of Earth community. We will also invite you, the audience, to share some of your fears, hopes and questions during these firey times.

InterPlay is an improvised practice that invites us to play with our birth right of sound, song, storytelling, movement, dance and stillness. It is a chance to connect to our deep inner wisdom, create space for the diversity of stories within us to be told and affirm what brings us joy and hope in life.
