COME TO BE IMMERSED IN A MAGICAL WORLD OF MYTH, POETRY, STORYTELLING, AND THE BARDIC ARTS.
Storyteller Mica Sun presents a night of songs, stories, poetry, and play. Weaving original songs and verse with mythic stories and reflections. With special guest, musician and song leader Samara Jade.
“Spirits in Passing.” A touch of seasonal ritual and a dose of participatory play, with a healthy serving of contemplative myth. Entrancing and entertaining. A curated audio and narrative space to remember what has passed and reflect on what is yet to come.
Presented by poet, storyteller, and author Mica Sun, with special guest musician and songwriter Samara Jade.

Samara Jade
Samara Jade is a forest‑frolicking folk troubadour, multi-instrumentalist, and musical seamstress who threads together earthy grooves, soul-soaked vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics into a genre affectionately dubbed “Philosopholk.” Even though she’s been a performer her whole life - by nature for her love of music and theater, Samara resists the audience/performer paradigm, and invites audiences into intimate, emotionally alive spaces through storytelling, singalongs, and interactive games that turn performances into connective, campfire-like experiences.
