    About Storytelling Naturalist Coral Conant Gilles in Madison, WI

    My classes are filled with laughter and exploration as we build relationships with the outdoors and each other. My own educational journey has been a revelation. I thought I was running away from the idea of being an educator, but I eventually realized that education was my passion. Instead of the traditional classroom setting, I’ve found ways to make learning fun and interactive. I’ve combined my love of storytelling with my passion for nature to create an educational experience that is both enjoyable and meaningful. I've found my niche and I'm thriving.

    Storytelling

    Coral tells stories in the ancient art of oral storytelling. Her stories are told with her voice and her body. Oral storytelling creates a connection between the audience and the teller. No story is told the same twice because the audience is a living, breathing part of the story. Coral has storytelling programs for children as young as 2, teens, adults, and elders. Family programs and inter-generational programs are especially wonderful.

    Hands-on Nature Activities

    Coral's hands-on nature activities engage audiences of all ages. They build connections with the natural community. Activities include Tracking Exploration, Live Pond Critters, Vermicompost (Worms!) Discovery, Make and Take Bird Feeders, Nature Wands, Constellation Creation and more. They can be done in conjunction with storytelling or a hike or they can stand alone. Some work well as open house or tabling activities, others need a consistent group.

    Discovery Hikes

    There is nature connection to be found in even the most urban environments. Leading hikes though deep wilderness is lovely, but not necessary. Coral finds interesting pockets of nature in grassy fields, weeds along the edge of an urban pond, and small clusters of trees. A hike can be done in conjunction with storytelling or hands-on nature activities or it can stand alone.
