A Magical Mystical Tour

Earth Church puts on a show


During  a wonderful evening at Houston's Orange Show we covered  an eclectic outreach event.  Jim Blackburn gave a presentation about the importance of a spiritual connection with nature the importance of an "Earth Church” for environmental action. Mary Anne Weber and the Houston Audubon raptors  were there and Joanna Friesen  guided dance improvisations. Even nature  leant a hand with a cool Spring evening to greet the attendees during this multi-sensory show.
