Mischievous and playful, both otter and bramble will find a way into your heart and mind in the Lost Words program.
Naming things has a power all its own, as Robert Macfarlane discovered when certain words went missing from a popular children’s dictionary. Many nature words were among those lost from children’s vocabulary. In partnership with Jackie Morris, he wrote a book of spells to conjure back 20 of these lost words. This program will feature Otter and Bramble.
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.
