How better to cultivate wildness of language than spending time where wild things live and grow?

Write in Nature - When we spend time in nature, we do so quietly, patiently and openly, with hopes of receiving understanding, clarity and a deeper connection to place. Leave structure and rules at home and join me for a day of writing with nature as our inspiration. You'll learn to marry observation with imagination, using techniques that easily transfer to any genre. This workshop is about forgetting self and listening to the voice of nature. You'll learn to see your surroundings with fresh perspective. For more details, visit www.natureofwords.ca
