On November 8, 2019 Helen Stoltzfus will share her Dispatches from a Wild and Secret Country: What My Mennonite Ancestors and the Gobi Bear Taught Me About Surviving the Climate Emergency.

Helen Stoltzfus’ combination performance piece/science talk/call to action weaves stories of her Mennonite ancestors, her trip to Mongolia to track the rare Gobi bear, and - importantly - outlines specific acts we can take now to preserve our planet.

Helen is a climate activist and long-time Bay Area theatre director, playwright, and performer. She is co-artistic director of Black Swan Arts & Media, an Oakland-based organization that creates and produces original performance events. http://www.blackswanarts.org/
