This is the full recording of the first Nights of Wild! On March 31st, we kicked off this monthly event at Smokebrush Marmalade. Our collective goal–myself and you, the audience–is to explore how to integrate the Wild into everyday life.

What does this look like? Every last Saturday night of the month, we start with a reading from the upcoming chapter release of The Oat Project. Then, on that chapter’s theme, we hear from a poet and an author in the first half. Then, at NoW 2 and 3 and all following, in the second half, I interview one or more experts on the topic. In between, audience participation and a casual, open conversation happens, on stage and off…in other words: FUN!

This event, an offshoot of the book, happens the at Smokebrush Marmalade.

In show number one, the incomparable Ashley Crockett reads poetry, local writer/publisher Deb Courtney reads a story about the summer of the red Camaro, and I read from the prologue of The Oat Project.

Nights of Wild 3 will be on July 28th! I hope to see you all there!

Enjoy this video (and perhaps pass along to someone who might like it?). Love & hugs!
