SUMMARY:Storytelling in Nature with Pierre Blin
DESCRIPTION:\nAbout the Storytelling in Nature Series\n\n\n\nThe Storytelli
 ng in Nature events offer a chance to hear storytellers from all backgroun
 ds tell stories about Nature in Nature. Many cultures have traditions of o
 ral storytelling. We experience stories differently when they are animated
 \, told through an experienced storyteller\, and when we experience them i
 n an outdoor\, group setting. Each Storytelling in Nature event also inclu
 des an activity related to the theme of the story in some way. We hope par
 ticipants experience these stories in ways that deepen their appreciation 
 of community and of our natural environment.\n\n\n\nAbout our Storyteller\
 n\n\n\n\nFor our first Storytelling in Nature event of 2026\, we are pleas
 ed 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 ed
 ucation business\, Rivers and Roots. With a background in Outdoor and Expe
 riential Education from Queen’s University\, his work has also included 
 countless hours of study in wild food\, foraging\, and nature-based mentor
 ship.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nJoin us for a fireside storytelling 
 experience exploring themes of fire\, origin\, and connection across cultu
 res. Pierre will share a dramatic retelling of “Coyote Steals Fire for t
 he People” from the Karuk people of Western North America\, alongside br
 ief reflections on other fire creation stories from around the world.\n\n\
 n\nThe live story will be followed by hands-on fire-making activities\, in
 cluding 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.\n\n\n\nOur Supporters\n\n\n\nThis event is su
 pported by several organizations\, including Earth Path\, Birch Path Heali
 ng Forest\, Forest Therapy Ottawa\, and Forêt Capitale Forest. This is a
