Integrating Nature into Your Writing at Landis

ESPERANCE — Nature writing is the opportunity to connect in new ways with the natural world. For centuries, writers have composed poems, stories, essays, and journals to explore, celebrate, and analyze nature. Through writing, we form what we want to say and, by saying it, we learn about ourselves, about others, about plants, and about the world. Together we will explore creative exercises and inspiring texts to have fun with words and our thoughts and insights in a guided, friendly natural environment. Bring your notebook or journal.

Open to writers or all experience levels (or none!) We will meet on September 1, 15, and 22. You may attend any or all sessions. Please register for each session separately. Click here to register for the first session, or contact us at info@landisarboretum.org to save a seat them pay at the door.
