In our perilous times, trees offer examples of resilience and precariousness, growth and generosity. How do we invite them into our writing? Join Matthew Battles, editor of Arnoldia, the Arnold Arboretum’s quarterly magazine, for an immersive workshop to practice writing under, about, and in collaboration with trees.
Participants will move throughout the landscape to engage trees in the arboretum’s collection while writing, reflecting, and sharing their discoveries.
Please bring a notebook or other writing materials that are manageable in the field. This program involves walking along wooded paths, climbing some moderate slopes, and navigating uneven terrain. We will be sitting on the ground frequently, so travel camp chairs, yoga mats, or blankets are encouraged.
In the event of inclement weather, registrants will be notified. For more information, please call (617) 384-5209. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23 at 5:30 pm. Meet at the Centre Street Gate. Register HERE.
