30 days of presence, nature & gentle writing practices
start date: SATURDAY 23 AUGUST
“I feel as if there has been a new beginning. This gentle process of poetry learning and opening has unmasked so much.”
IS Something inside you asking to be heard?
Maybe you feel a quiet longing, or a soft call to slow down. Or you feel called to listen more deeply—to the trees, to the stillness, to your own soul.
30 Days of Nature Poetry is more than a writing course. It’s a sacred daily practice. It offers a way to return to yourself through nature, presence, and poetry.
You’re not just exploring poetry, you’re reconnecting—with the earth, your creativity, and something timeless within you.
HOW IT WORKS
Each day for 30 days, you’ll receive:
🌿 A short, heartfelt reflection from me on nature, writing, and presence
🌿 A gentle prompt or invitation to guide your own writing
🌿 A space to share your own writing, reflections, or to simply receive
You can complete the practice in just 15 minutes a day, or linger longer if you wish. No pressure, no expectations. This is a practice of permission, not perfection.
“This daily practice has really filled me with joy, helped me to see with fresh eyes, and given me so much more confidence to share my writing. ”
This is for you if…
🌱 You feel most yourself in nature
🌱 You’re seeking a quiet, meaningful creative practice
🌱 You want to write—but gently, without pressure or judgment
🌱 You’re returning to your voice after time away
🌱 You long for a practice that brings presence and calm into your days
No poetry experience needed. Just a willingness to pause, notice, and begin.
What you’ll need
🪴 15 minutes for the daily practice
🪴 Your favourite writing supplies
🪴 Access to nature (a window view, houseplant or your memories of nature counts)
🪴 Internet access to join our private community (hosted on Mighty Networks)
