A co-creative writing journey into deeper Nature connection

A co-creative writing journey into deeper Nature connection

29 August 2026 to 30 August 2026

10.00 to 16.00


On this wild writing retreat, we will work together to develop our ability to observe, hear and respond to many of the beings resident in the wetlands, hedges, meadows, woodland and veteran trees on site.

Aiming to develop a practice of embodied co-creation with the more-than-human world, which you can continue beyond the programme, we start by learning to get more in touch with our own wild ‘creaturely’ self.

This enables us to drop into an extra-ordinary mode of perception, where we’re freed to pick up on the signals, signs, wild language around us, and to record them without judgement as an act of co-creation.

We also honour our five ways of knowing – sensing, feeling, imagining, intuiting, thinking.

The programme includes guided writing and Nature connection exercises outdoors, reading from other writers, plus free time to develop new writing, whether poetry or prose
