Storytelling with local people
Friendly get-together with people who know about the farm and its past. Storytelling, knowledge-sharing, and pleasant chat. Coffee/tea will be served, and its possible to buy muffins. The fire in the stove and the lovely old-fashioned surroundings will inspire memories of times gone by.
Georgiana Keable is a pioneer for the renaissance of storytelling and she likes adventures. She moved to Opsal gård in 2020 and is leading the work here for biodiversity and live storytelling. For many years she has taken thousands of teenagers up the Norwegian Pilgrims way and on botanical story adventures, prompting 12-year-olds to spontaneously hug trees and learn which species surround them. In the remote Lofoten Islands, collecting stories by day and sleeping in a hammock by night, every stranger had a tale of connection between nature and humans. Georgiana founded ‘Fortellerhuset’ (The Storytelling House),the Norwegian Storytelling Festival and Storytelling radio, and received Oslo’s Artists Prize for outstanding contributions to cultural life.
She published the prizewinning book of environmental tales – ‘The Natural Storyteller’ and a new book will be published in 2022.
