By way of restorative writing exercises and craft art making participants will explore the relationship we cultivate between soil & soul. This workshop merges poetic writing, creative world building & the magic of the lands we occupy to create original poetry & little word terrariums. This workshop will remind participants to tend to your inner landscapes, the collective landscapes you are part of & renew the importance of listening to and writing your dreams.

Workshop Participants Will:

• Experience an Embodied Poetry Movement Activity

• Receive Writing Prompts & Time to Write Poetry

• Create a ‘Word Terrarium’ Keepsake

• Enjoy collective art making & community building

This workshop is presented in partnership with The Squamish Public Library.
