Last Friday Channeling Rachel Carson toured to Lincoln, MA. Rachel's editor lived in Lincoln and it is a town well known for its environmental advocacy. So many important meetings and responses to the performance. The gathering for story-sharing after the performance was so profound. It is clear that this idea of how can we Channel or bring into our lives those like Rachel Carson who stood up for nature in times of extreme peril is so important. Come join me for any of my upcoming shows- Touring next weekend to Ithaca NY and then on Earth Day April 22nd at 7:30 PM in my home community of Boston- Jamaica Plain.

My newest show: "Channeling Rachel Carson" just had its Deleware debut at the First Unitarian Church of Wilmington. Thank you to my host Reverend Lawrence Peers and to this most welcoming and environmentally active congregation. In addition to the story during the service it was lovely to lead a workshop full of reflections, and commitment to bringing Rachel's dream of The Sense of Wonder to the next generation.
