Remembering our inextricable ties with Mother Earth is a revolutionary act. Returning to the wild, whether in person or through visualization, dreaming, writing, or other art forms, can be a source of creativity, love and belonging.
During six, 2-hour workshop sessions, we will read poetry, prose, and essays that touch on the magnificence of Mother Earth. The aim of the class is to be inspired by the reading, our discussions, and your ventures into Nature. Your writing practice will be nourished by your deepening relationship with the natural world. We will also explore how artistic acts like writing, painting, sculpting, singing, playing music, cooking, baking, gardening, etc., are prayers towards healing and opportunities to share our heart-based creations.
