Inspiration from Nature Writings – Online Workshop
Wednesday 10 September
We were 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.
The workshop sought 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 explored St Francis’ poem to creation, The Canticle of the Creatures, alongside one of Adrian’s poems emulating this, called A Canticle to Creatureliness. He also looked at how writing about nature can also be very curative.
Adrian Scott is a poet and spiritual director living in the Rivelin Valley in Sheffield. He often writes and speaks about the natural world from which he draws both inspiration and solace. He is also a podcaster and substack publisher. His Anxious Poet’s Podcast and his Anxious Poet’s Substack explore themes of poetry, anxiety and vulnerability, He lives with his wife Wilam and their two dogs and his son Tom.
