We are excited about the outpouring of support and participation for our fair! We have an illustrious line up of activities and presenters, including Lummi Nation’s renowned violinist and speaker Swil Kanim who will inspire us, both with his virtuoso violin playing and sharing indigenous beliefs about the interconnectedness of all things. Our fair will also feature the Nooksack Tribe Storytellers, Tamara Cooper-Woodrich and Angela Latoi. Our other presenters include CSL pastor Reverend Dr. Andrea Asebedo, who will open up the fair, and multi-faith singers Cantorial Soloist Andrea Shupack/ Congregation Beth Israel and Reverend Seth Thomas, First Presbyterian Church, who will help us close it.
Organized with the whole family in mind, there will be lots to do at the fair, including enjoying Zen nature walks on the Center for Spiritual Living’s beautiful grounds, adding prayers and commitments to the MNCJ Net of Interconnection, and practicing yoga. The Salmon People video from Children of the Setting Sun Productions will be available to watch. Refreshments will be on hand. Attendees can also meet and interact with over three dozen spiritual communities (including many of you), eco-businesses, and environmental organizations who will help us enjoy and celebrate nature while we explore the many ways we can choose to care for the earth and each other as our climate changes.
