Field Class: Nature Connection and Writing Workshop Series with Julia Waters
Join poet, birder, and nature educator Julia Waters in a workshop series where participants will have the opportunity to connect to nature through their senses, using the biodiversity of three different Pacific Northwest landscapes as inspiration. Participants are invited to deepen their relationship with the natural world through writing prompts, exercises, and nature connection practices.
Workshop Details
The first workshop will focus on nature connection and self-reflection, the second workshop will involve collaborative writing practices, and the third will be centered around community and personal growth. There will be time during each session to ponder, write, walk, and share, inviting participants to connect to others, nature, and themselves.
We will walk between .5 and 1.5 miles, both sitting and standing. The workshops will be held outdoors, so dress for the weather and bring rain gear if it is forecasted. Hot tea will be provided prior to each session, and a portable bathroom will be available at each location. *The fee covers all three sessions in this series. See locations and dates below.
