The Lost Words (Adult+)
Heron and Weasel

Saturday, February 15, 2020
11:00 a.m. – noon

$8 Adults; $6 Nature Center members
$6 Children 9 – 15

Paid reservations required by Thursday, February 13, 2020.

 

Stately, sneaky, fierce, and fluid: the heron and the weasel both embody these traits and more. Learn more about these animals, read their spells, play with words, and give them back the power of their names.

Naming things has a power all its own, as Robert MacFarlane discovered when certain words were found missing from a popular children’s 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 Heron and Weasel.

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.
