These spells are for you, the youth and children of Nova Scotia, to encourage you to get outside and explore nature, to discover and name plants, insects, animals, in your backyards and communities. This ‘Spell-kit’ has been concocted by Nova Scotia writers and artists, to conjure some of the common nature words of Nova Scotia, in order to help with their identification. Artists and writers have used their own creative ways to help others imagine these plants, animals and insects. Biology students and instructors from StFX University have also contributed, explaining more about each organism, linking birds to their calls to help you find them by their songs, suggesting where they may be found, what they look like, what they eat, and even examples of how they have informed biomimicry, the study of learning from, or mimicking nature.
Spellbound by Nature
Hi John and Dorothy, I have checked with Shannon our public relations coordinator about the July 29 production of UnSettling Antigonish and she thinks that it will be workable for the Coady participants to have their dinner with the president and then attend this performance. Please get in touch with Shanon Archibald at sarchiba@stfx.ca about organizing a bus to take them to the performance.
thanks

I have to have a copy of this colouring book to give my wife for christmas, l know she would love it, how can we do this? If l send a money order could this be sent by courier? I live 25 minutes from Halifax/Dartmouth. Have you considered Chapters? I bet they would sell like hot cakes! Thanks, Peter

My Mom and I have been taking advantage of the Art Therapy classes that Rachel Power is facilitating at the SMRH on the 3rd Floor along with the Music Therapy classes that Tom Curry is running. I must compliment you on your holistic perspective of the person. I would like to be in touch with Rachel if you could pass my email addie on to her. Thanks so much.
