An Evening of Stories & Change in Nelson

You are invited...

Join storyteller Leah Lamb for a journey through stories of change—and share some of your own.

Change rarely arrives on schedule. It shows up as a move, a loss, an ending, a new beginning, or a calling that will not leave you alone.

Together, we'll share stories from our lives and from The Little Book of Change: A Storied Guide to Navigating Transitions, Loss, and New Beginnings.

This is a highly interactive community gathering where we'll explore what it means to be living in a quickly changing world—through story, song, conversation, reflection, and the creation of a community altar.

You don't need to come with a story to tell. We'll offer questions and prompts along the way. You are welcome to share, listen, reflect, or simply receive. No one is required to share.

This is a free community gathering.

Please arrive in time to settle in. We've designed the evening as a journey we'll experience together and will begin promptly at 6 PM.

Please bring something to feed and honor the spirit of change.

You might bring flowers, fruit or chocolates to eventually share with others; a photograph or relic of someone who has experienced a change; something representing a change you are moving through; or a stone, crystal, or other object you'd like to place on our community altar and take home with you.

Together, these offerings will become a living altar created by this particular community, on this particular evening, at this particular moment of change.

“The only way to make sense out of change

Is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
— Alan Watts

Copies of The Little Book of Change will be available for purchase and signing following the gathering.

At the center of our gathering, we will create an Altar for Change together.

Please bring offerings for our altar

For your consideration:

• Items that represent changes you are tending

• Images of people you love who have going through a change

• Food that nourishes the altar (and us), such as fruit, chocolate, bite sized nibbles we can share

• Feathers, crystals, stones, deities...things that will support us in our exploration of change.

Everything placed on the altar can go home with you.

You can also make a contribution to the altar that will travel from city to city.
