Treat your inner Thoreau to this immersive workshop designed to help you craft the written word to communicate your experiences more effectively. With Mark’s guidance, participants will enjoy meditative exploration of Assateague’s ecosystems in tandem with writing exercises to describe your personal sense of belonging to the natural world. You will come away with techniques to hone your writing skills that will improve your preferred method of communication through mediums like a nature blog or journal, fiction and prose, social media content or in Mark’s case, Conservation Journalism. The focus will be on the sense of wonderment in an experience then how to richly describe it and turn it into something poetic and meaningful. Through your own raw, personal relationship with nature you will put the emotion back in creative work, capture the immediacy of the moment, and produce true entries of nature storytelling.
