Do you wish you could find the words for what you experience in nature?
Would you like to write something that captures your feelings, thoughts or the loving support you feel when you’re connected to the ocean, the mountains or even your garden at home?
Do you want to be able to ‘tune in’ to capture more of nature’s wisdom?
Would you like to learn a simple structure that means your poem or piece almost writes itself?
Join me for the second workshop in the Poetry Studio series.
In this workshop:
I’ll share my experience of writing with nature that lead to my 2023 book of poems, The Land Will Hold You,
You’ll learn how to use the technique of extended metaphor to structure a simple poem or other piece of writing,
You’ll have an experience of channelling the wisdom of nature, and
You’ll create a first draft of your own poem or piece of writing.
BONUS:
The workshop will be followed by an email with a second exercise and writing prompt to use when you’re outside in nature,
You’ll also receive access to my guided visualisation: Meet the Land You Live On, and
You’ll receive an invitation to the Poetry Cafe, my online community for folk to share writing, encouragement, helpful resources and things we love to read. Meet participants from other workshops and courses and enjoy the kind, collegial company.
