Between body & soil

-writing yourself into the earth

a free course

This is a nature and writing course - maybe it’s more than that, born to spark your imagination—

a gentle invitation to look a little closer at the living world around you.

We’re told that in these times we live in, we are starved of imagination, that we drift too far from the wild places— those pockets of moss and wind and silence that are becoming harder to find.

We live with many hungers we hardly name.

Yet there are still spaces where nature and story can gather around us, where we can lie on the forest floor watching clouds, where a single word can open a door.

In this course, we will gather stories, gather images that shimmer at the edge of sight.

What if you could step inside the mystery and intelligence
of the more-than-human world?

What if the landscape long called silent revealed other truths,
if only for a moment?

This little course is an attempt to write some of that into being.

I believe we need more time to nourish our creativity, and more time to sit with the world’s other voices the ones that breathe through trees, water, soil, and weather.

Imagination thrives when we return to such places, and our wellbeing deepens when we let them return to us.

Let us step into practices that open something larger in us practices that call on the body as much as the mind, on the senses as much as the page, on curiosity as much as craft.

This free course is one small pathway back to that remembrance.

Over eight days, you will receive prompts exploring:

• the animate world

• the body in relation to nature

• the art of creative writing

Each prompt weaves image, video, and sound to stir the places where imagination lives.

Each day offers three strands:

• a brief warm-up to loosen the edges

• a deeper practice to sink into—teeth first, or pen first

• and offerings for the mind: talks, videos, and readings to linger with

You do not need to be a practiced writer, or someone who slips through forests with binoculars swinging at your chest.

Simply bring your curiosity.
To be willing to entertain other ways of seeing.

Let the prompts carry you for five days,
or stretch them across the slow, generous months.

Walk at your own pace.
And above all, savor the journey.
