Join Sarah Westcott for a gentle, creative workshop reconnecting with nature through curiosity, care, and close attention.
Working outdoors in the reserve, we’ll use natural objects as inspiration for writing, giving voice to observations, grief, and hope. A safe, supportive space to explore climate change and habitat loss through personal writing and group discussion. No writing experience needed.
