Getting the Word Out:
It’s easy to reach out to family, friends, neighbors and even acquaintances to talk about wanting to do something about the climate crisis. Still, some may want some guidance for how to make an invite to the storytelling workshops. The examples below are just templates, starting points. Feel free to make these into your own. See also the “notable quotables” page, excerpts from Santa Soaked. Feel free to add your favorites to give a taste!

Storytelling Workshop Invitation Template:
This outline, gets you started on crafting a personal message. Please don’t just cut-and-paste! Here’s the core message (and links) to get the message out. Add personal details in the opening, your personal experience of how this book/storytelling speaks to you. Maybe you’re ready to host your own workshop. “We're gathering at my place on Saturday afternoon - won't you come join us?" This is also easily adapted to reach out to colleagues, whatever your field or interests. That’s easy for teachers, artists, activists.  
Dear Friend,   
I trust this finds you and your family well during these most challenging times. As we prepare to close what has been a difficult year for many, I would like to share my most sincere holiday wish. What I want most? A happy, hopeful future for our children.  
As you know, their future is clouded by the climate crisis. This isn't some far-off thing. Anxiety for what's ahead has become an epidemic among the young. What can we do? First, we need to talk about it. That's why I'm sending you this special holiday book. Santa Soaked: A Story for All Ages tells how Santa Claus learns about the climate crisis. This discovery gives him a new mission - to save our children's future:
What kids need, and nothing less/is help to fix this climate mess. 
I hope this lifts your spirits as it has mine! This was a gift to me, and now my gift to you.  Click this link to download the eBook here.
The book is part of a project to gather friends, family and community. We are long-overdue for a discussion of how the climate crisis affects our lives. The Santa Soaked Storytelling Workshops offer a place for old and young to come together. We discuss what's going on, and find ways to make a difference.  
As we gather for the holidays, won't you join me and others to share this conversation? Click here for more information about the workshops. Let's see about organizing one for our circle. In the meantime, please pass this along to everyone you know who shares our concern for kids. We need an all-in, all-out mobilization. Any wait is too late!
Best wishes for health and happiness to you and yours in 2022!
PS: This is very much for those of us longing for more spiritual, less commercial holidays. There is absolutely nothing for sale here and no . How does that work? Through what's called "Gifting" - how Santa runs his business! Gifting gives us a glimpse of a world built on giving, not greed. It helps reawaken our sense of value, of what’s really important. We need to be clear about that to take on the climate crisis!
