What is Meanderings LIVE?

What once was a two-page office photo-copied HeartLands Conservancy newsletter called Commonfields has now become the much loved glossy magazine, Meanderings. Watch as it changes again to a live show.

Join us as the hot topics of the community come to life as guest speakers, video presentations, and art entertain guests. Truly from the page to the stage!

Seating limited. Reservations are held at the door. No printed tickets are needed.

We look forward to seeing you there.
