Our True Nature is a series of four nature writing workshops for women of colour. Monsal Trail walk and creative writing workshop

Monsal Trail

Our True Nature is a series of four nature writing workshops for women of colour encouraging you to explore and deepen the relationship between you, the natural and more-than-human world, and how nature can heal and bring us immense joy. This workshop will be the third in our autumn series. Through inspirational writing activities, readings by writers and poets of colour and a trip to the Peak District you'll be guided to write about the nature on our doorsteps, the changing seasons around us and within us, wonder-walking with our words in the Peak District, and cultivating our sense of belonging to the natural world. As women of colour we will be claiming our space both in nature and in nature-writing. By writing in community, we'll work on re-wilding languages of expression, decolonising nature writing and bringing our ancestral knowledges to our words. We believe everyone can write. These workshops are suitable for complete beginners to experienced writers. Come to one or all! This is a collaboration between WOC Azadi Collective, Dal Kular, writer and facilitator, and Peaks of Colour. We have teamed up to bring you an exciting outdoor workshop where you will be taken on a guided walk through the Monsal Trail in Derbyshire, being encouraged to write and immersing yourself in nature, connecting to it's healing and liberating powers. Although we have planned to hold this event at the Monsal Trail in Derbyshire, if the weather is poor, we may need to cancel at short notice.
