Fabric of Folklore
Folktales can be strange, mystical, macabre and intriguing. Join us as we explore the stories, culture and people behind the folklore. We go beyond retelling the legends, myths and fairy tales of old. We look at the story behind the lore, behind the songs and traditions to understand more about what they mean, and their importance. These stories, many originating as oral histories, inform us of what it means to be human; what it means to be an integral part of this Earth. Stories of magic and wonder bind us. They connect us through invisible strands, like the gossamer fibers of a spiders web. Folktales have the power to demonstrate how, although we live in drastically different locals, our hearts and minds beat as one human race. We are weaving the fabrics of our past and present stories, to help us better understand ourselves and to awaken us to a more compassionate and caring world community. As we explore the meaning of existence through folklore we hope to inspire future generations to lead with love and understanding.

Robert Browning's Poem: The Pied Piper of Hamelin- Storytelling
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a town breaks a promise? In this retelling of Robert Browning's beloved poem, the town of Hamelin is overrun by rats — and a mysterious, colorfully-cloaked stranger offers to solve everything, for a price. The Pied Piper delivers on his word. The town does not. And the consequence is one that Hamelin will never recover from. A timeless tale about the true cost of broken promises, the power of music to move us, and what leaders owe the people they serve.
✨ Some stories survive centuries because the truth inside them never gets old.
