Women & Nature - Online Course
Introducing a 5-Week Online Creative & Reflective Writing Course - Connecting Women & Nature through Words
Every environment we spend time in has an influence on our bodies, our energy, our mental and emotional state, and therefore has an influence on what we create.
Nature is a place I personally go to for many reasons. To calm nerves, to feel free, to slow down, to find and feel home, to be in the presence of other species, to feel a sense of wonder and enchantment, to feel held or expansive, to remind myself that I’m a part of a much larger ecosystem, to fine-tune my senses or to feel inspired and alive.
The natural world, has a special influence on our creations. It’s where I've had some of my best creative ideas. And this is what we’ll be exploring in my new 5-week online course.
Women & Nature is a 5-week online writing and self-discovery course that guides women back to their connection with the natural world through their writing.
Through the journey of this course, you’ll be guided to open your senses, develop your relationship with the natural world and infuse the aliveness of nature into the words you write.
The emphasis will be on self-discovery through reflective writing and working with nature themes to inspire your creative writing.
Enrolment for the course opens today!
The Senses
Our senses are the doorway through which we develop our relationship with the natural world. There is deep intimacy to be found when we see our connection to nature as an intimate relationship which can be cultivated over time.
We can find that intimacy through our mindful presence, curiosity and reverence for the natural world. We can also develop it through our creative practice which in turn, brings our creativity alive.
The Senses are the language through which nature and life come alive. The Senses are also the language through which our creativity and words can come alive.
In each live class, we’ll focus on a Sensory theme which will act as the catalyst for our creativity.
Learn more about each live sensory class theme…
During the course, you’ll be given weekly writing assignments that encourage you to go out into your local nature spot, whether park, hill, river, local woods or mountains.
You’ll learn to use writing as a tool to ‘see’, to understand nature as a language and how it specifically speaks to you.
You’ll create mindfulness and wellbeing time for you and your creative practice through reflective writing for self-discovery and nature-based creative writing prompts to spark stories and words that feed and fill you and your personal creative project/s.
