“This beautiful place…unbroken field of poppy and lupin walled with clean cliffs; no intrusion but two or three horses pasturing…” — Carmel Point by Robinson Jeffers

Join author Lisa Kerr in the TPF gardens and engage with place through writing!

In this workshop we will explore beautiful places, underrepresented spaces and barren landscapes using examples from various genres, such as essays, novels, poetry and children’s books, from authors such as Robinson Jeffers, Edward Abbey, and Arthur Staples Karslake.

In this engaging workshop, you will:

Learn how to effectively communicate scientific concepts to a general audience through writing.
Explore various writing techniques through various genres to make environmental and scientific topics accessible to all readers.
Receive feedback on your work from the workshop leader and peers.

This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and nature enthusiasts from all backgrounds in order to improve connection with nature, personal writing skills and to reach a wider audience.
