About this event

Instructor Patti Trimble will share excerpts from published writers, discuss various elements of short-form writing, and will offer really good prompts.

This class meets in the Red Barn Classroom at Point Reyes Headquarters. The facility is accessible to everyone: we will write partly outdoors and partly inside, depending upon the group and the weather.

This day-long class will be focused on writing as a means of personally and collectively connecting to Earth. Patti will give short workshops and prompts for writing together. We will share our writing throughout the day.

Patti Trimble's poems are widely published and for thirty years she wrote science, literature, and language-arts textbooks. She performs and records poetry and spoken word in the US and Europe and her workshops focus on the practice of writing, fostering energetic connections to self, others, and the natural world.
