Sunday, August 19, 2012- “Planting Seeds of Peace” is the title of an interactive performance that will focus on environmental consciousness and how people — especially kids — can make a difference. The storyteller will be Children’s Storytelling veteran Cara Patton, a former teacher at the Peregrine School and intern for several I-House Children’s programs while a student at UC Davis.
“We will begin with a short yoga routine, growing from a seed to a big tree and ending as a community forest,” she said. “We will share ideas about why trees are important to us and other living creatures.” The storytelling portion will focus on Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan environmental and political activist, who helped form the Green Belt Movement, which lead to the planting of millions of trees. “Lastly, we will share about how we can make a difference in our town of Davis and share in a closing meditation,” she said.
