Reclaiming Our Connection to Nature with Dr. Suzanne Ondrus

July 7 - 9, 2023

Hermits, nature manifestos, and forest bathing? Keep your clothes on as we learn five different writing forms, engage with nature. In conjunction with learning about such topics as Japan's forest bathing, the healing benefits of nature, hermits, and diverse writing forms, we'll channel nature via walks and time outside as a muse for a variety of writing prompts.
