Nature Writing means different things to different people. The best Nature Writing overlaps with philosophy. It is an extension of culture. It emerges over time and demands a capacity for listening and being patient. It demands self- awareness. And that is what makes it even more worth doing.
In this inclusive workshop Sophie asks what is meant by ‘Nature Writing’ before moving onto a consideration of:
-
the importance of close attention, bearing witness and cultivating a talent for observation
-
finding the narratives, stories and essays that emerge from something as minimal as a short walk.
-
the ethical dilemmas that come with nature writing.
-
the importance of embodiment.
-
research strategies and the power of the ‘I’ as a narrator.
-
journalling (digital or otherwise) and intention setting.
Suitable for emerging and aspiring writers. This workshop is an 18+ event.
