Speaking of Nature: Place-Based Creative Writing with Janisse Ray

5 Sep 2014

Speaking of Nature: Place-Based Creative Writing
with Janisse Ray
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM $65 (by 7/15), $70 by (by 9/1).
Only by telling our stories will we create a new era of the human. One in which we all lead sustainable and meaningful lives. If you are a lover of food and nature, a farmer with a literary bent, in the likes of Gene Logsdon or David Kline, or if you want to acquire more skills to spiff up your garden blog, this is the workshop for you. Join Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood and Seed Underground, to explore ideas of nature, place, community, and sustainability. In a satisfying blend of journaling, writing prompts, nature-as-muse experiences, and thought-provoking exercises, we will investigate our personal relationships to the land and enrich the body of literature with our love of the natural world.
