Class Description

 

Writing from Nature is a class designed to harness the clarity and beauty of the natural world to inspire our writing. Working with prompts each week we will find a "sit spot" to write from and familiarize ourselves with this special place. This process will allow us both to familiarize ourselves with the plants and animals that live around us as well as providing us with an opportunity to develop and practice our descriptive writing, storytelling, and voice in a non-judgmental, safe community.
While this program will consist of individual writing, we will come together as a group to discuss our experiences, share our writing and receive constructive feedback, and bond over the beauty of the natural world that is all around us, even in the most urban of settings. Whether you are interested in starting a journaling practice, are stuck in a writing project, want to familiarize yourself with the local flora and fauna, or just need some structured space to decompress from your busy life this is the class for you.
