SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Elizabeth Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Designated an American Masterpiece Touring Artist by the NEA\, Elizabeth Ellis grew up in the Appalachian Mountains hearing stories from her grandfather\, a mountain minister. The “Divine Miss E” is a versatile and riveting teller of Appalachian and Texas tales and stories of heroic American women\, though her personal stories are arguably her best. An award-winning author\, she is a recipient of the John Henry Faulk award from the Tejas Storytelling Association\, and the NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence and Lifetime Achievement awards. \nIt was a breathtaking performance to witness. Elizabeth was so layered and magical and real.  Her timing impeccable\, her delivery effortless\, her impact extraordinary. – Ann Arbor Observer

SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Anne Rutherford
DESCRIPTION:A five-time champion of the Northwest Folklife Liar’s contest\, Anne Rutherford’s tales ring true even when they’re completely false. From personal stories to prize-winning lies\, she’s developed a wide-ranging repertoire over her 25 years of performing\, including first-person accounts from her Wild West alter ego Clementine Ryder\, who usually steals the show. Often accompanied by her mandolin playing\, Rutherford’s telling bubbles with humor\, heart\, and a desire to connect and share meaning with her audience. “Without you\,” Anne says\, “I’m talking to myself!” \nOne of the finest professional liars in the world. – Portland Tribune

SUMMARY:Climate Cafe
DESCRIPTION:What is a climate cafe? Climate-minded friends & neighbors who come together to share what’s important and to build a stronger\, safer world for us all! Climate Cafe occurs on the 2nd Tuesday monthly.\nLocation: Classroom/meditation space\, 2nd floor\nCost: Food and drink purchases encouraged to support teahouse nonprofit\nHow to register: https://linktr.ee/climatecafe_easttn\nInstructor Contact Information: Chelsea Green\, chelseagreencmi@gmail.comwww.anubeginningtherapy.com\nToo often\, our grief & anxiety around climate change lacks the community awareness\, support\, and rituals that would help us build resiliency. Now more than ever\, we need places & spaces to share our ideas\, our concerns\, our fears\, and our dreams. Gathering for these conversations helps us tap into a bigger network of support\, like the trees & mycelium share resources in their underground networks. Climate Cafes are free 90-minute gatherings welcome to all because we know that when we engage in meaningful conversation and action in the context of a community\, we grow our capacity to serve something bigger than ourselves. The Climate Cafe’s goal is to get more people together\, in more places\, talking about climate change in a supportive and welcoming space.\nThis event takes place on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at The Philosopher’s House in Johnson City\, Tennessee and is facilitated by Registered Climate Therapist\, Chelsea Green\, MA\, LPC\, CPA-NA.\nBeing human has always involved persisting through danger and uncertainty. By embracing our love for nature\, for all plants and animals\, and for humanity\, even in the face of great loss and pain our grief can empower us to fight for a better future for all.

SUMMARY:Storytelling Live: Anne Rutherford

Often accompanied by her mandolin playing\, Rutherford’s telling bubbles with humor\, heart\, and a desire to connect and share meaning with her audience. “Without you\,” Anne says\, “I’m talking to myself!” \nOne of the finest professional liars in the world. – Portland Tribune
