Spinning Yarns at Wildflower Farms World Storytelling Day, observed annually on March 20, traces its roots back to Sweden in 1992 and by 2003, Canada had joined the international movement. Locally, you are invited to World Storytelling Day 2025, which is set to captivate audiences with an evening of spoken-word magic at Wildflowers Farm (42338 Fruit Ridge Line) on Friday, March 21, 2025, starting at 6:30 pm. Host and featured storyteller, Stephanie Holt, explains: “This theme can have many meanings -- stories in which a character is in trouble, stories about magical waters, or stories connected to deep waters like the sea, a lake, or river. “To represent our challenging times as well as the unpredictability of March weather, I have added a subtitle: Tales to Weather the Storm. ” Stephanie’s own journey into storytelling began in the summer of 2019, when she experienced the power of a live, spoken- word tale. “The teller, Jane Grass, grounded herself by settling her feet more firmly onto the wood of her deck,” she recalls. “Bird sounds, trees moving in the breeze, squirrels gathering nuts, all disappeared as Jane’s voice alone conjured the story world. A spark ignited within me.” That spark has since grown into a passion, leading her to explore and share stories in every way possible over the past six years. Attendees at Wildflowers Farm can expect an engaging lineup of five storytellers: Veronica Antipolo, Sarah Abusarar, Carol McLeod, Jane Magri, and Stephanie herself. “Folks from different walks of life and at different stages of their storytelling journey will take the stage,” Stephanie shares. “Whether telling a story to a large audience for the first time or being a world- renowned teller, every one of us comes from a place of passion for this art form.” The event promises a range of stories, from
personal narratives to traditional folktales, all told without the aid of books or scripts. Beyond the stories, attendees will have the chance to connect with friends, old and new, in the rustic charm of the Wildflowers Farm barn. A printed copy of the official World Storytelling Day artwork, created by Marianna de Munck Mortier from the Netherlands, will be on display. “And you never know what surprises might await you!” Stephanie hints. World Storytelling Day 2025: Deep Waters – Tales to Weather the Storm is made possible through the support of Storytellers of Canada/Conteurs du Canada and the generosity of Jane Magri, who has provided Wildflowers Farm’s incredible space for the evening. “Storytelling brings people together, builds community, teaches us,” Stephanie says. “And finally, I love how much fun I have with storytelling! I mean, really, why should kids have all the fun!?” Come, take a seat, and be transported by the power of the spoken word.
