About this Event
Are you looking for new ways to connect with the natural world? Looking for writing inspiration, no matter your experience?

Whether you’re just beginning or have years of practice, writers ages 16+ of all genres are welcome. Workshop limited to 20 participants. Lunch, notebooks, pens/pencils, water and snacks provided. Comfortable clothing, hats for sun, and low-heeled shoes recommended. Rain or shine: we'll stay indoors in the event of inclement weather.
