Join Sylvia on summer solstice day, out in the wilds of the Point Reyes Peninsula, for a field-telling of a beautiful old fairytale from the forested islands of Scandinavia called “The Island Daughter the Green Knight.”
This is a story about a woman who longs for a green land she has never seen, and a knight who speaks the language of birds. It is a story about the healing that comes from the deepest forest and the language of wild things, a story about the miraculous ways that true love can find us when we least expect it.
After the telling, Sylvia will guide participants in a series of animal tracking, bird language and nature-connection exercises to allow the story to bring us into deeper relationship with the singing earth.
There will be a picnic lunch break, creative writing exercises that ground what we have witnessed and wondered into our own stories and poems, and plenty of time to wander and carry this story out into the high summer land.
June 20th, 2026
10:30 am - 4:00 pm, at a field location on the Point Reyes Peninsula that will be sent out to participants during the week before the class.
