Many cultures have traditions of oral storytelling. We experience stories differently when they are animated\, told through an experienced storyteller\, and when we experience them in an outdoor\, group setting. Each Storytelling in Nature event also includes an activity related to the theme of the story in some way. We hope participants experience these stories in ways that deepen their appreciation of community and of our natural environment. \nAbout our Storyteller\nFor our first Storytelling in Nature event of 2026\, we are pleased to welcome Pierre Blin as our storyteller. Pierre Blin is a storyteller and nature educator with over 25 years of experience teaching wilderness and ancestral skills through camps\, education centres\, and his nature education business\, Rivers and Roots. With a background in Outdoor and Experiential Education from Queen’s University\, his work has also included countless hours of study in wild food\, foraging\, and nature-based mentorship. \n \nAbout the Event\nJoin us for a fireside storytelling experience exploring themes of fire\, origin\, and connection across cultures. Pierre will share a dramatic retelling of “Coyote Steals Fire for the People” from the Karuk people of Western North America\, alongside brief reflections on other fire creation stories from around the world. \nThe live story will be followed by hands-on fire-making activities\, including simple ignition techniques with matches\, the use of spruce pitch as a natural fire starter\, and demonstrations of friction methods such as a bow drill and hand drill. \nOur Supporters\nThis event is supported by several organizations\, including Earth Path\, Birch Path Healing Forest\, Forest Therapy Ottawa\, and Forêt Capitale Forest. This is a free event. There will be a donation jar and guests are welcomed to offer donations to help support future storytelling events.
