Inspiration from Nature Writings – Online Workshop
Wednesday 10 September 7pm – 8.15pm. Online
We are excited to welcome the poet and spiritual director, Adrian Scott, to our second online workshop in September, as part of our Season of Creation series.
We will seek to grasp the way that St Francis, arguably a few hundred years ahead of the green movement, found healing, solace and God in the natural world.
We will explore St Francis’ poem to creation, The Canticle of the Creatures, alongside one of Adrian’s poems emulating this, called A Canticle to Creatureliness. He will also look at how writing about nature can also be very curative.
Participants will have the chance to hare any nature writing that illuminates their own lives.
We will end with a Q&A and closing prayer.
Please bring any short excerpts of nature writing that you have read, or written yourself that you’d be happy to share in the breakout group.
