Event

National Poetry Month – Haiku and Our Natural World

Join author and poet Maggie Dewane for a nature-inspired poetry workshop and reading. Beginning with a brief history of haiku, the workshop will move through creative writing warm-ups and highlight the benefits of nature journaling, a foundation of both haiku and everyday mindfulness. Weather permitting, participants will be led through writing prompts while outdoors, gathering inspiration from what we experience around us. By the end of the workshop, participants will have written their own haiku drawing inspiration from their favorite places or the time spent outside. The workshop invites participants to share their work, but it is not required.
