Storyteller and artist Jackie Morris and Tamsin Abbott have released their new book, Wild Folk, a beautiful and immersive blend of mythopoetic language and luminous stained glass images. In this special otherWisdom Circle to celebrate the turning of Spring Equinox, Jackie and Tamsin will join us in conversation and storytelling, sharing selected readings from the seven tales that make up their book. Each story is deeply rooted in the living elements of earth, stone, wood, sky, and sea, inviting us to remember our kinship with the more-than-human world.
With Jackie’s poignant words and Tamsin’s vibrant glasswork, Wild Folk becomes more than a book: it is an experience of wild enchantment and tender, folksy wonder. Their stories open doorways into landscapes both ancient and intimate. The stained glass does not merely illustrate the tales; it illuminates them, casting color and light across the page like sunlight through cathedral windows, reminding us how story can be a sacred art.
During this gathering, Jackie and Tamsin will reflect on reading, craft, and story — everyday magic so easily taken for granted by those who are surrounded by it. And they will speak to the deeper, wilder magic that links stone, tree, fox, and star — the shimmering web of relationship that binds all beings. In honoring that web, Wild Folk invites us to slow down, to listen, and to remember ourselves as part of the living story of the Earth.
