Writing Through the Elements: Connecting with Nature and the Creative Process

Goal: Provide an elemental approach to creative work, allowing writers to connect with different aspects of their creativity and emotional landscape.

What You'll Take Away:

• Start with an oracle card draw to assign each participant an element for the day.

• Explore the elements: Earth for grounding exercises, Air for freewriting and brainstorming, Fire for passion and action (dialogue or conflict), and Water for emotion and flow (character reflection or setting).

• Use prompts to explore how each element can enrich your writing, ending with a freewrite on how to incorporate these elements into your creative life.

• Experience the course outdoors in nature, depending on the weather.

Workshop Dates: TBD

Location: Vankleek Hill, ON (exact location TBD)
