And yet,Continue reading ““Bend, but not Break” – Singing, Climate Action & Social Justice Part Two”

I have found these magical clumps of leaves to be such a beautiful entry point to deepContinue reading “Sway Side to Side”

At this time of year, our beautiful land offers us the gift of discovery, and the opportunity to delve deeply into learning about who lives in our community. To inspire children toContinue reading “Sneaky Tree / L’arbre sournois”
