Weaving Dance, Music, and Magic, MotherTree creates a unique vision of our relationships with trees. Faery Magic and Earth Science engage our imaginations as we travel through the mycorrhizal network to learn from the Trees. The urgency of Climate Crisis compels us to take environmental action and to commit deep work grounded in reciprocality and respect. In an age marked by overconsumption, grief, and isolation, MotherTree creates dynamic beauty and inspiration. The act of getting lost allows us to see.
