As winter loosens its grip and the first green notes return to the landscape, Tuning into Spring invites you into a slow, attentive journey through the season’s unfolding.
Across three structured online sessions, we’ll explore how spring moves through both the outer world and the inner one: how the light lengthens, sap rises, ideas quicken, and our own creative energy begins to unfurl.
Each workshop blends selected texts, close reading, and nature‑rooted writing practices. We begin with the subtle stirrings of early spring, learning to notice the almost‑imperceptible shifts in air, sound, and mood. We then move into the boldness of emergence: the risk, tenderness, and exhilaration of new growth. Finally, we turn toward reciprocity and relationship, exploring how spring invites us into deeper belonging with the more‑than‑human world.
Participants can expect a welcoming, reflective space with rich literary texts, imaginative prompts, and opportunities for discussion.
No prior writing experience is needed, just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to pay attention.
Join to reconnect with the season, nurture your creativity, and simply slow down. This series offers a grounded, sensory way to step into spring.
