Do you remember the first time you ran barefoot through the grass as a child? Probably not, but your body remembers. It remembers young and carefree days of playing tag on the lawn, the smell of the freshly cut grass- its bright emerald color in May, and the warmth of the sun on your skin.

Those sensory “memories” remain with you and when recalled, can whisk you back to images of  days you spent in nature throughout your life. 

In this workshop, you will be guided into  remembering those special places and settings, then shaping them into a cohesive narrative on the page.  

WHAT TO EXPECT: An hour and a half of discussion, guided writing with prompts, and feedback.

WHAT TO BRING: Pad, pen, or computer; water; -A photo or tangible item as a reminder of your favorite place or setting
