Welcome to Dig It: A Fall Writing Workshop at the Wendy Olson Arboretum!
Join us on Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 10 AM to 12 PM in the beautiful setting of the Wendy Olson Arboretum. This in-person workshop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature while discovering the transformative power of writing.
The workshop is open to participants of all skill levels, from aspiring writers to those with more advanced writing experience. You're welcome to express yourself in any form that resonates with you—journaling, fiction, poetry, short story, memoir, or essay.
Come connect with fellow writers and explore the gorgeous surroundings of the arboretum for inspiration. Don't miss out on this unique chance to dig deep and cultivate your writing talent.
Here's what to expect:
- Welcome: We’ll begin with a welcome, introductions, and a mindful exercise to set the intention for our time together.
- Writing Guidance: To help inspire creativity and writing, we'll offer writing prompts and suggestions.
- Writing Session: We'll delve into a free-form writing session, letting our words flow spontaneously.
- Gather and Share: We'll gather to share our work or thoughts on the day, creating a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to speak if they choose.
After the workshop, you’re welcome to stay and further explore the wonders of the arboretum.
