Creative Mornings | Folklore

The CreativeMornings Global Theme for March is FOLKLORE! Join us on March 18, 2022 at CreativeMornings Winnipeg to explore and celebrate the ways that our cultural and family stories become mythic in nature.

A song about the origin of the world, a pot of simmering stew that draws the community to the table, a knot of ribbon in your hand. All of these moments and rituals bind us to our ancestors, our past to our future. Our collective and ancient wisdom is contained in folklore, we must simply look there.

Our Guatemala City chapter chose this month’s exploration of Folklore and Sara Ortega illustrated the theme.
