A workshop dedicated to finding creative inspiration through observation of the natural world.
Inspired by Jane Allison's Meander Spiral Explode, this workshop focuses on visual patterns and their application in creative writing. In the first half of the workshop, participants observe, discuss, and record natural patterns found on the farm. In the second half participants complete a series of writing prompts inspired by the findings of the group. These prompts will give way to solo writing and voluntary group sharing.
