Earth-Centric Storytelling: Reconnecting Through Nature, Myth, and Belonging

How can storytelling help us remember our belonging within the living world? Earth-centric storytelling invites us to awaken the storyteller within—the part of us that remembers storytelling as an ancient human practice rooted in relationship, imagination, and connection with the Earth.

In this participatory session, Sara McFarland guides participants through creative practices of moving, writing, speaking, listening, and sharing stories that center wild beings and the reciprocal relationship between humans and the more-than-human world.

Through playful exploration, participants reimagine familiar fairy tales and create new stories inspired by encounters with the natural world. These practices help us reconnect with ecological wisdom, deepen our sense of belonging, and rediscover storytelling as a tool for healing, learning, and transformation.

Earth-centric storytelling reminds us that we are not separate from nature—we are part of an interconnected Earth community. By listening to the stories of the living world, we can cultivate imagination, resilience, and new pathways toward regenerative futures.

This webinar recording is ideal for educators, facilitators, storytellers, environmental practitioners, Transition communities, and anyone interested in nature connection, ecological imagination, regenerative cultures, and the power of stories to shape our relationship with the Earth.
