SUMMARY:Oak Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin Dartmoor’s Daughter and storyteller Lisa Schneidau on a magical walk to discover the rich and diverse tales of British woodlands. From heroes and heroines to faeries\, woodwose and tree spirits\, this is a unique opportunity to spend time exploring the folklore and nature of Dartmoor’s wild places. \nUpland oak woodlands are mysterious places\, strewn with granite boulders and dripping with mosses and lichens. Here\, the English oak (Quercus robur\, translated to ’strong fine tree’) grows low and gnarly\, in a tangle with rowan trees\, bilberries and ferns. The oak is our national tree\, instantly recognisable across the countryside and throughout our folklore. \nOn this Midsummer walk\, we will discover stories of the mystical oak tree\, symbol of strength and courage\, and its place at the very heart of our traditions\, surrounded by the oak trees of Black a Tor Copse\, one of the best remaining examples of high altitude oak woodland left on the moor. \nLEVEL: MODERATE – Approximately 6 miles. You need to be comfortable walking in hilly and occasionally rocky or boggy moorland terrain. We will sit awhile in the copse to enjoy its unique beauty. \nWHAT TO BRING: Sturdy hiking boots\, warm layers\, waterproof jacket and trousers (whatever the forecast); something to sit on; picnic lunch and drink.\nDogs by arrangement only please. \nTIME/LOCATION: 9.45am for 10am walking start together at Meldon Reservoir car park near Okehampton. The car park is on the approach road to the dam. Grid Reference is SX 561 917. Nearest postcode is EX20 4LU but please don’t rely on your sat nav to get you to the exact location\, it probably won’t! \nCar sharing is encouraged please. Post a message in this FB event page or email info@dartmoorsdaughter.com if you can offer/need a lift. \nFEE: £25 per adult. Group size is limited so pre-booking essential. A small portion of your fee will be given to:\n*Donate for Dartmoor\nhttp://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/wildlife-and-heritage/our-conservation-work/donate-for-dartmoor\n*Dartmoor Search & Rescue Teams http://www.dartmoor-rescue.org/donate.html \nThe walk and folk tales are designed for adults. Older\, engaged children by agreement only. \nORGANISERS:\nDartmoor’s Daughter creates walks and nature-connection experiences to transform health\, wellbeing and performance. \nLisa Schneidau is a storyteller and environmentalist based on Dartmoor. She seeks out stories about the land and our complex relationship with it. Lisa trained as an ecologist and has worked in British nature conservation for over twenty years; she is the author of Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland (History Press\, 2018). More information about Lisa’s storytelling performances\, projects and writing at www.lisaschneidau.co.uk\n…Lisa captivates her audience\, and makes you ponder whether the land always has a tale to be told and a voice to be heard… Beaford Arts on Tangle of the Commons\n….a book of folk tales tailor-made for 21st century environmentalists…. Jini Reddy\, Resurgence & Ecologist\, reviewing ‘Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland’ \nCANCELLATION POLICY: The event will go ahead come rain or shine.

SUMMARY:The Tangle of the Commons - King's Nympton
DESCRIPTION:Wild plants surround us and shape every aspect of our lives: the food on our plates\, the clothes on our backs\, and the places we live.

Please bring camping chair or rug and a camping mug! Wear suitable clothes including stout boots. There will be baked potatoes and marshmallows! \nBooking details to follow.

SUMMARY:Wildflower Folk Tales Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a storytelling walk where we will discover some of the flowers special to Dartmoor meadows\, and hear stories about plants that we find along the way. Expect tales from across Britain that inspire\, provoke curiosity and explore the connections between people and nature. \nWith beautiful views of Holne Moor to the west\, and set high at 1\,200 feet\, the field supports a stunning profusion of wildflowers and grasses in the summer\, with four kinds of orchid reaching their peak in mid-June – Southern Marsh\, Greater Butterfly\, Heath Spotted\, and Twayblade. Part of a larger group of small fields that make up a County Wildlife Site\, the field has had no applications of agricultural chemicals for a generation and has been managed for wildlife and biodiversity for several years. \nRalph and Jill Mackridge are custodians of this wildflower meadow. And in return for us walking through and exploring their beautiful field\, they have asked us for an hour’s volunteering time clearing bracken. Hopefully you’ll agree that this is a worthwhile endeavour and helps us to offer something back to Ralph\, Gill\, and the ecology of Dartmoor. \nLisa Schneidau is a a storyteller and environmentalist based on Dartmoor. Having worked in nature conservation for 20 years\, Lisa currently works with the Devon Wildlife Trust managing and developing landscape scale conservation programmes in north Devon. Lisa has been collecting and telling folk tales about plants for a forthcoming book. Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland is a story journey through the growing year\, with folk tales of the land and the wild trees and plants that surround us through the seasons\, in countryside\, town and city. It will be published by the History Press in spring 2018. You can find out more about Lisa’s work at www.lisaschneidau.co.uk \nDartmoor’s Daughter creates walks & nature-connection experiences to transform health\, wellbeing\, and performance. As a professional guide and facilitator\, Emma Cunis is a qualified Hill & Moorland Leader (HML) with the requisite Outdoor First Aid certificate\, and has a background in global business. Her maternal family has loved Dartmoor for generations. Her grandmother introduced her first husband Eric Hemery to Dartmoor in the 1950s where he set up and offered guided walks and pony treks then wrote a series of well regarded books including ‘High Dartmoor’ described as ‘the bible for anyone who has the spirit of Dartmoor’. \nLEVEL: MODERATE – Approximately 4 miles at a relaxed pace although you will need to be comfortable walking for 3-4 hours in hilly moorland terrain. And be up for some bracken clearing together as a group too. \nWHAT TO BRING: Sturdy hiking boots\, long light-coloured trousers (helps to avoid ticks)\, sunscreen\, warm layers\, gardening gloves if you have them\, waterproof jacket and trousers (whatever the weather forecast); picnic lunch and drink. \nLOCATION: 9.45am for 10am walking start together at the small carpark by the little conifer plantation above the Ruddy Brook (SX736746) near Pudsham Down.

SUMMARY:Botanical Folk Tales Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland is a collection of folk tales with a difference: all the stories involve trees and plants. The book was written on Dartmoor by storyteller and conservationist Lisa Schneidau\, with stunning cover illustrations by Chagford artist David Wyatt. It’s the result of a storyteller’s search for traditional folk tales about the botany of these islands\, the wild trees and plants that surround us through the seasons\, in countryside\, town and city. \nThe book contains stories for all ages. There are tales about giant pumpkins and travelling trees\, fairies that curse bad farmers\, willows that talk and an enchanted coat of moss. The book follows the growing year\, from the snowdrops braving the Highland winds and piskie tulips by the river Tamar\, to bad-tempered dandelions\, chattering junipers\, fields full of ragwort and magic apple trees. \nBotanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland is published by the History Press on 19th March\, priced at £9.99. \nCome and help me launch the new book in Chagford\, where most of it was written!

SUMMARY:Storytelling Sunday: Spirits of Place and Time
DESCRIPTION:This workshop considers the context of stories: the all-important small details that set the scene. It’s a day for beginners and experienced storytellers alike. \nAll too often\, stories are told from an indeterminate time and place\, ‘once upon a time somewhere in the world’. How about placing your story in historical time\, and actual place? What would they be? We will play with story in different times and landscapes\, talk about honouring the source of a story\, and discuss the ethics of telling stories from other places and traditions. We will also (weather permitting) go out into the countryside to explore how to become closer to the landscape of the story you’re telling\, and look at the use of detail in storytelling. \nWorkshops are £55 for the day (10am – 4.30pm)\, including teas / coffees and materials. There is a discount available on three workshops if you book them all together before 8th October (£150 for the three). \nBooking is essential\, as places are limited. Full payment for the workshop will secure your place. \nTo book\, please fill in the attached booking form here Booking form Storytelling Sundays – Autumn 2017 and send it back to me. Payment can be made through bank transfer\, sending a cheque\, or through the Billetto ticketing site (there is a small admin fee for the latter: the link is here). \nAny questions\, or if you would like to talk through the content of the days\, then do call me on 07814 168953.

SUMMARY:Storytelling Sunday: Through Different Eyes
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore story from the perspective of different characters\, and from members of the audience. It’s a day for beginners and experienced storytellers alike. \nWe will use a Norse myth to explore how different characters might live\, feel\, and act\, and discuss how this can enrich our telling. We will then walk individual stories from the perspective of the villain\, the hero\, the maiden and any number of other human and non-human characters\, and share our findings! Used with care and measure\, these techniques can bring empathy and integrity to a telling. I hope you’ll find different perspectives to use in your own stories. \nWorkshops are £55 for the day (10am – 4.30pm)\, including teas / coffees and materials. There is a discount available on three workshops if you book them all together before 8th October (£150 for the three). \nBooking is essential\, as places are limited.

SUMMARY:Botanical Tales with Johan Allerfeldt
DESCRIPTION:This will be a special evening in Gidleigh Village Hall. \nI will be sharing some British folk tales from the new book\, all with a botanical flavour\, in honour of the Reverend Keble Martin (author of the Concise British Flora). I have discovered that not only did the Rev. Keble Martin live in Great Torrington for some years\, but he also lived in Gidleigh for nine years. Where will he be next I wonder? \nThere will be music in between stories from the extremely talented Johan Allerfeldt\, playing the grand piano that they keep at Gidleigh. I have never heard piano improvisation like this. Highly recommended. \nTickets are £6 and can be reserves through Bill Murray: email dartmoorbill@yahoo.com or phone 01647  231297. The evening is in aid of the new heating installation at the village hall.
