Sharing Stories Together in Nature

Have you lived a full life and find that you have stories to share? Have you figured out a few things that you wish you knew when you were younger? Do you have life lessons that others might benefit from? Join Sonoma Land Trust on the Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway for Sharing Stories in Nature, where we’ll gather to reflect upon and share our stories together. Whether you like to talk, write, read, draw, or simply listen, we’ll have opportunities for each of us to share some of our significant moments and thoughts together.

Bring a camp chair, blanket, or cushion; a notebook and pen; water; a sunhat; and layers of clothing for variable weather. We’ll be sitting together under the lone tree at the end of Albert Drive.
