Feeling It : a nature-writing workshop

Amanda Tuke - Goldcrest Projects

Hone your nature-writing skills with this fun interactive workshop in which we'll explore writing about nature  from emotional sources.

Led by the Great North Wood nature-writer-in-residence, Amanda Tuke, with aspiring mental health and queer community writer, Billie Ballard, this online workshop is aimed at adults (or family groups) who want to try out for the first time or further develop their creative nature-writing. During the workshop you&#x27;ll have the opportunity to practise writing from your own experience, begin polishing your sentences and contribute to a collaborative creative writing project.This workshop is funded by the Arts Council National Lottery scheme and offered free to participants. Donations to the London Wildlife Trust are welcomed and can be made <a href="https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/donate" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.This workshop will be delivered online via Zoom. For the writing activities, you can either type or use pen and paper.As a pre-activity to the workshop, please do one of the following things:a) Introspection and emotion: Spend ten minutes at a nearby green space. Rather than actively observing, focus on how your surroundings make you feel and your emotional connection to the place.b) Inhibition-busting: Head to a green space and make a noise for just a few seconds, while of course being considerate of wildlife and other people. Shout with your face to the ground, sing, play an instrument, clap or even laugh out loud. And focus on how this makes you feel.Even if the above activities are not accessible for you, please do still attend - you won&#x27;t be singled out and activity work-arounds will be suggested!What participants said they enjoyed most about Amanda Tuke&#x27;s nature-writing workshop at the Festival of the Great North Wood 2020: &quot;Brilliant tutor!
