StoryRising Folk Tale Episode 2: Mooshie and the Great Forest!

In the summer of 2024, neighbors in NE Portland's Cully neighborhood gathered to imagine a world, characters, and events that might occur somewhere in Cullyville. As it happens, Cullyville is not always what it seems. Walking through the neighborhood, it seems like a little village - with ordinary folks, urban farms, dogs and cats, rabbits and crows, overgrown patches of green...Yup. But sometimes we discover floating roofs, crystal caves, petrified forests and luminescent coves - or unique characters - that lead us into worlds of imagination. And that's how this story began. This Folk Tale is being created collaboratively.  But you don't need to live in the Cully neighborhood to add your ideas to the story. In fact, here's a LINK [https://dreamingearthpress.com/storieseed/cullyville-stories-continue/] to a Dreaming Earth Press webpage where you can share your ideas. Please do. Enjoy!
