Last Year Mountain cried for Stories. Wind Heard.
Wind blew Enchantment everywhere and the stories came.

Tell me more." And We Will.
The Society of the Muse of the Southwest, S.O.M.O.S. heard the call of the mountain and Taos Storytelling Festival was born. Come to Taos for this event, in an environment that is as rich and stimulating as the stories themselves.
