An immersive full-day workshop for writers of any level or form. You will develop methods and new writing that attend to the more-than-human world and our place within it. Set on private native forest on Djaara Country, you’ll be guided in response to the immediate surroundings, from observation to interrelation. There will be time to work at your own pace and follow points of interest to develop a draft, before we regroup in the studio to share and workshop the results.

The group is limited to 6-8 people. Following the workshop you’ll have the option to include your work in a group publication.
