More about Letters to Earth
The Earth is made of the magic of nature—wondrous ecosystems (biomes) which make up the world . For one special morning, the dancers and storytellers of Company | E and the Musicians of Sound Impact explore the letters written to Earth. It is a celebration and, at the same time, a cautionary tale of humans' impact on those biomes as told in the stories of “We Hear You – A Climate Archive.” Seventy-seven young people from around the world came together virtually to create and share their stories about what it’s like to be alive at this pivotal moment for our only home. Their stories are an inspiration. Come for a wondrous experience and learn about how to celebrate and heal the Earth, becoming agents of change.

The event is free and registration is not required. Families may drop in for as long as they like.
