A session of writing in tune with the earth, inspired by the rocks and soil under our feet, with Helen Nattrass and Victoria Field
About this Event

Over two, separate, two-hour sessions we will write to prompts from rocks, fossils and earth processes to create our individual reflections on our planet. We will read and respond to poems and prose on geological themes. The event is open to all, and no previous writing experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate. The emphasis is on writing in the moment to capture our most vivid thoughts.

There is a morning (10.30-12.30) and an afternoon (1.30pm-3.30pm) session with different content. You can book for one or both.
