NATURE JOURNALING: A SPIRITED PATH THROUGH PERILOUS TIMES
Join me for The Wild Scribe: An Online Nature Journaling Workshop
Whether you are a writer who longs for more inspiration, an ecotherapist or forest guide looking for new tools to use with your clients, or simply a nature lover who wants to connect in a deeper away with the world about you--this five-week online course will awaken your creativity and your sense of wonder and oneness with nature.
Explore the power of language that has been restored to a more natural, wild state
Experiment with a variety of journal techniques
Discover the deep wisdom and healing available from keeping a nature journal
From the moment we first gather, we will start experimenting with different techniques. You’ll learn how to find a more intimate connection to the earth and tap into the wisdom of nature.
Writing at its best is like venturing onto an undiscovered trail in the woods. You never know where you will end up, or what you will discover in the process. The word "creative" shares its origins with the word "creature," and carries the same sense of feral aliveness.
There is nothing tame about keeping a Nature Journal.
The trouble is that sometimes we find ourselves stuck or uninspired and neglect this amazing practice. During this course, you'll gain encouragement from new journal tools and an incredible community of like-minded souls. We'll write, share, and support each other in giving voice to our feelings for nature.
So please join me for the The Wild Scribe: A Five-Part Online Dive into Nature Journaling through the Rowe Center, August 4-September 1. (ALL SESSIONS ARE RECORDED). Click here to register.
This is what past participants have said about "The Wild Scribe."
“Thank you for the marvelous course. I loved the exercises and the opportunity to share with such wonderful writers. Everything about it was rich and enlivening.
The course was at the perfect pace for me and was accessible and profound in equal measure. It has been one of the stand-out experiences of “lockdown” for me.
Mary - you are SUCH a bright spot of light in this darker-than-usual world right now, and I am so grateful for your brief presence in my life this week. I’m loving the workshop, and your calm and loving demeanor. And the PERFECT poems you read at exactly the right moments.
The hour and half each week that I have to spend writing is wonderful, even if I don’t get chance to write any other time. I have signed up for all the courses.
