Storytelling

Storytelling is a central theme of the Eco-Stewards Program. We listen to the stories that emerge from each watershed we visit– stories from the land and its people. We also share our own personal stories (something we call “eco-faith journeys”) with each other in a safe and creative space. And when we return home, carrying all these sacred stories in our hearts, we look for new people and places to tell these stories. This sharing may include presentations at colleges, churches and camps, one-to-one conversations, blog reflections and multimedia stories. We’re always looking for help from creative Eco-Stewards who can lend their artistic talents in photography, videography, writing, social media and other skills to make our storytelling more vibrant! Here’s a sample of some of our multimedia slideshows:
