Writing with Trees

Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation • 222 Columbia St NW OlympiaWA  98501 Organized by Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation

About this event

Description

How do we slow down enough to be present to the ecosystem of which we are a part? This event at Tumwater Falls is an opportunity to practice deepening our sense of this place and our relationship to it. Participants will receive excerpts to read from Henry David Thoreau’s and Linda Hogan’s essays “Walking” before we gather. We will briefly discuss the readings and what they mean to us. We will have an opportunity to walk a portion of the Refuge and directly experience and understand this place more intimately. Using queries and writing prompts, we will spend time reflecting and journaling about our experience. We will close as a group by sharing about our experience. Instructor: Deric Young, Thurston Friends of Trees


Please meet at Brewery Park at Tumwater Falls by the educational sign closest to the parking lot.
