An Auraria Parable

Show Info “Through Stories We Exist” Will you heed the call and listen to the stories of Auraria? The area that we know today as Auraria has long been a place of gathering in Denver. The flowing and convergence of two rivers on its land has always made it fertile ground for Coloradan people, families, and communities. Like the water of the rivers, the stories of the people inhabiting Auraria have flowed throughout the land since time immemorial. As the rivers today threaten to dry up, will people continue to gather and find belonging in Auraria? The stories must flow for us to understand its history and our connections to this magical place. Join us to understand the past patterns of belonging and displacement on this land and foster your own story of connection and community by understanding what it means to call a place home. We welcome you to join us as a listener to, and an author of, this parable.
