Writing in the Weeds — An Online Generative Writing Workshop
Sunday, April 26th, 12pm-3pm PST/3pm-6pm EST
What lessons do ‘weeds’ have for our creative and social movements? What can the resilience of plants that are deemed disposable teach us in this moment? This workshop will engage invite participants to engage with plant medicine as a process for recovering the fullness of our personal and collective stories, memories, and identities. Through practices of embodied writing, we’ll explore the wisdom and strategies that plant allies can share in supporting our creative emancipation. By learning to build relationships with plants that are grounded in deep listening principles, we are able to access stories of ancestral resilience and resourcefulness to challenge dominant ideologies and envision possibilities for a loving, regenerative, transformative world.
This workshop will take place over Zoom and a link will be posted on the event page closer to the date of the event.
