GeoPoetry Workshop – Wise Words for the Earth

GeoPoetry Workshop – Wise Words for the Earth

Workshop for adults interested in exploring ideas and writing – Booking required: £5.00. Maximum 14 places. Teas, coffee and cake/biscuits available.

The session is run by Helen Nattrass and Victoria Field

Over a two-hour session we will write to prompts inspired by chalk, flint and earth processes to create individual reflections on our beautiful Kent landscape. We will read and respond to poems and prose on geological themes. The event is open to all, and no previous writing experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate. Bring paper and something to write with.

Victoria is a Writer, Researcher and Poetry Therapist and an Associate in the Academy for Sustainable Futures at Canterbury Christ Church University.Both Helen and Victoria are Geoambassadors for the UNESCO Cross-Channel Geopark https://geoparktransmanche.org/en/
