Looking for some natural inspiration? Join us for “Nature as Muse,” a generative writing session located inside the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center. Participants will walk the 1.25 mile loop together before taking part in two nature-themed poetry prompts. Re-connect with your creativity in a beautiful park setting and be ready to leave class inspired. Please bring your favorite writing tools and dress accordingly as this is an indoor/outdoor event. (In case of heavy rain, class will remain indoors.) All genres and writing levels welcome!
