What is this thing I hold in my hand? Why, it is an acorn. Naming things has a power all its own, as Robert MacFarlane discovered when certain words were found missing from the Oxford Junior English Dictionary. Many nature words were among those removed. In partnership with Jackie Morris, he wrote a book of spells to conjure back 20 of these lost words. This program will feature Acorn and Ivy.

Based on the book, participants will hear the spell, speak the spell, and through a variety of activities conjure back these two natural elements to take their rightful place in both culture and heart.
