☀️✨ SOLAS has now had its performances, and what a beautiful experience it was ✨☀️

There was something so special about sharing these stories beneath the open sky — hearing the laughter, feeling the stillness, and watching the tales of light, dark, mischief and wonder ☀️✨

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the atmosphere so warm and unforgettable. Storytelling feels even more magical surrounded by nature, music, and community ✨☀️

We’re so grateful to have shared this experience with you all, and we can’t wait for the next time💛
