Henry David Thoreau was a masterful, creative writer. We can follow his example by interacting with nature, by paying close attention to its nuances, and by using all of our senses, as encouragement to write. This session will allow us to study nature in the late afternoon, approaching sunset.

We’ll practice inside and then will go outside as the weather permits. Folks are guaranteed to see, hear, and touch something brand-new and intriguing this time, even if they’re familiar with Thoreau Farm. And they’ll come away with partial or finished pieces of writing or artwork, too.

Participants are invited to bring their own journals or sketchbooks, although small ones will be provided.
