Course Summary
This one-day, stand-alone workshop invites writers of all levels to explore how nature shapes and inspires creativity. Through a selection of shared texts, participants will be offered gentle prompts and dedicated time to write in any genre or form. Where possible, the day will include a mindful walk outdoors, or time spent with items from nature as a source of inspiration. There is no obligation to write about nature; rather, it serves as a starting point to spark ideas, awaken memory and deepen each writer’s connection to their own voice.
Course Outcomes
Participants will come away with new writing and practical ways to generate and develop ideas, using nature as a source of inspiration.
