EMBODIED WRITING | Reconnecting to Ourselves and the Living World Through Stories

In this workshop, we will get out of our heads and into our animal selves to write the stories only we can tell. What is our sensory, sensual experience of our surroundings? In what ways are we woven into the ecosystems we inhabit? And in what ways might we explore and map our inner terrain like we do the land we walk on?

Together we will respond to prompts and writing invitations; craft short fiction and/or essays; and offer each other encouraging feedback. Whether you have an existing writing practice or are new to writing creatively but are seeking a more meaningful connection with your inner self and the natural world, this course is for you. 

Materials provided | Free/public | RSVP Required: Sign up here
