Odyssey Storytelling Presents: Snowflake, An Online Event

Odyssey Storytelling Presents: Snowflake
Curated by Phil Gordon
Produced by Roscoe Mutz and Miles Schneiderman
Thursday, December 17, 2020
Show at 7PM Available on YouTube
And on the Odyssey Storytelling Podcast December 18th

The primary symbol of the snowflake is uniqueness and individuality. They are delicate, fragile and fleeting.. As snowflakes tumble through the air, swirling and spiraling, they each take a different path to the ground. A beautiful thought for sure but not so fast. To some the term snowflake has taken on a more political connotation to indicate weakness in an opponent. Storytellers will share tales of winter wonderlands, inspiration and family gatherings gone wild
