River Revelations
Along a sacred river’s edge, enchanted animals navigate mysterious landscapes along a trail from deep time. Starlight and lightening reveal the interchange of ancient peoples and the animals that have the care of the earth. As the animals traverse through the seasons of life, they learn that knowledge is power and that the land still speaks to us. The land still speaks to us!
