Immersive storytelling by featured NPR storyteller Diane Edgecomb. Dive into the life and times of Rachel Carson, who inspired the modern environmental movement.
Free and Open to the Public, this empowering one-woman show shines light on the many ways we can find our way home to the wonder of the natural world. From the true North of Rachel Carson’s life work and the remote beauty of the Maine cottage where she wrote Silent Spring to channeling powerful memories of our own key nature experiences, this performance brings to life the Sense of Wonder Rachel wrote about so movingly at the end of her life. The ability to Wonder is a sense that brings renewal and a gift from those that take us by the hand and bring us back to our love and delight in nature. Oracle-award winning author and storyteller Diane Edgecomb skillfully weaves a hauntingly beautiful tale of her own journey of poignancy, joy and light.
Rachel Carson was the founding spirit of the environmental movement. Her accessible nature writings transformed the understanding of a generation opening eyes to the miraculous stories unfolding every moment in the living biosphere of this natural world. The Edge of the Sea, The Sea Around Us, and Silent Spring – the book that challenged the entire petrochemical industry – placed her as the foremost nature writer of her time and as a true visionary.
