Foraging Prose & Poetry

Join community herbalist, essayist, and poet, Sarah S. Velázquez, on a mindful walk in the carefully stewarded land of Pittsburgh Botanic Gardens. We will take our time with the fauna and flora we stumble upon and will utilize their beauty and candor, along with writing prompts, to generate original pieces of writing (of any genre). Sit by a tree and write their story. Listen to a reading while you put your feet into the grass and find their roots. Love on a flower and write her love story. This workshop is not for only nature writers but also for nature-loving writers and any creator that appreciates the gifts of life.
