Brittney Corrigan will be reading from her poetry collection, Solastalgia, as well as offering new work.

Lisa Gilham has been making theatre with friends her entire life, so when she had an opportunity to create something for this upcoming equinox, she gathered some of her favorite collaborators together to bring the poem of a queer icon to life (it's Mary Oliver). There's a tension between the implied abundance of a harvest season and the reality that we're closing up shop for a while, headed into greater darkness, with more time to think about our place in the world and the limited amount of time we have here, "to be alive and know it." Lisa is joined by her friends Ashley Hollingshead, Jenny Bunce, and Jessica Zodrow. 

Bedrock Theatre's mission is to connect audiences to their environment and to each other through immersive storytelling in natural landscapes. Bedrock's Seed Session offering will feature songs and stories inspired by the Greek Goddess of the Harvest, Demeter, and her daughter, Persephone.

Brooke will be creating an interactive earth altar for the liminal textures, moods, and richness of fall.  Housed in our Nature library, come by to awaken your senses, and touch into the colors, scents and mythic story of this potent turning time.  A chance to reflect on all the harvest blooming from summer's fullness as well as what is falling to earth as compost and nourishment for seeds into the next wheel turn of the year.  Touches of trickster energy with fox, raven, and Persephone to feel what may emerge when we are impish, clever, and play with possibility.
