Creative writing springs forth from a place that is not wholly defined by the mind. It means writing outside the lines. Not writing what we think we are supposed to write, or what we are being told to write, as if there is only one correct and many incorrect answers.
Here at Little Shepherds Nature Lab, we practice writing that grows wild. Writing that goes where it wants, writing that kicks over rocks, writing that climbs trees, writing that reads bird song. Writing that loves adventure. Writing that makes up new rules, then breaks them.
We believe creative writing is a powerful expression of the unique life and language within each of us: our unique perspectives, ideas, our questions, and observations. It enables a strong sense of self, which in turn promotes a purpose-driven life.
Composting is a powerful demonstration of the natural processes that support such a life in all its stages. It's also one of the most important things we can do to help build healthy soil and nutritious food to feed our bodies AND brains!
This workshop provides hands-on exploration of several different composting methods, a peek into the invisible world of soil microbiology, and plenty of creative writing time.
Our inner and outer landscapes are similar: the more we show up to it, the richer and more interesting it becomes...
