You’ll laugh 😂, you might just cry 🥹, and you’ll be tempted to bid on that beautiful painting, on that well-deserved massage, those hand-beaded earrings, that jar of local honey, or on that full-body ninja suit 🥷 at Wild Soul’s Storytelling Festival and Silent Auction Fundraiser!

🌿Come out to support life-changing nature-connection programs for youth and families happening right here in Durango. Simply buying a ticket and enjoying the afternoon is already helping!

The Silent Auction is filling up with local experiences and exciting items that you will have to see to believe—

I said there would be full-body ninja suits 🥷, right?! 😄

Saturday April 11th 1-4 at the Smiley The Smiley Building! Tickets $20 at the door for adults and kids are FREE!!!

Equi-nox: Equal night. Often hidden within our words are clues to a deep connection with this world that we have had, and can have again.

As we spring into a new season(for remember, seasons are verbs!), we celebrate our wintering, even though we missed the snow here in the Southwest.

The Wild Tenders, Fox Walkers, and Earth Walkers tended fires, built bow-drill kits, trailed Bobcats, built shelters that shed water, stood with Pygmy Owls, listed to a Cooper’s Hawk’s silence, climbed through snow drifts at 10,000 feet, listened deeply to the stories of our Southern Ute neighbors, and grazed like deer on the purple flowers of new mustard greens.

Our parents and community gathered for stories again and again this season, as we told some of the most central parts of how Wild Soul came to be and how some of our dearest cultural gifts came to us.

There are more stories to be told, and more gratitude than these words could hold.

Thank you for being part of our community. As you catch our story, you help to hold it, and to hold us.

Story of the Day: This morning, we played Otter Steals Fish, trying to nab the food from a Heron. When we took a break to drink some water, we looked up to see, flying directly above us, the First Heron of the Season! You can't make this stuff up, and at Wild Soul, it happens all the time : )
