About this Event

Welcome to Nature writing for city folk! Are you a city dweller or visitor looking to (re)connect with nature? Join us at the Meadows (Edinburgh) on Monday 24th November at 2.30pm to do just that.

Gathering from 2.15pm at the picnic bench in the centre of the Community Garden (by the Little Free Library), we'll begin at midday, setting out to explore the nature in and around the Meadows — guided by prompts and exercises designed to deepen your connection to this beautiful place, on your own terms.

It costs £20 to particpate and 10 places are available. You are welcome to email to arrange to pay me directly (and avoid the Eventbrite fee), or to arrange to pay what you can if the cost is otherwise prohibitive: [email protected]

No writing experience is needed, and all levels are welcome. Just bring along:

  • your favourite notepad and pen
  • clothing for the weather
  • something to sit on (e.g. rainjacket or plastic bag)
  • a wee snack or cosy drink, if you fancy

If you have any access needs that I should factor in, I'd love to hear from you in advance to chat about how I can best support you in accessing our session: [email protected]

Truly looking forward to exploring some nature writing practices together with you,

Aileen
