The Nature Connection

Week One – The Nature Connection

Seek out a tree and let it teach you
stillness.

-Eckhart Tolle

Welcome to Week One of the Writing Dance

We will begin the Writing Dance by setting our intention for these four weeks of exploration.

Then we will engage in our first writing practice that draws upon the gift of curiosity and our connection with the natural world. This is a writing process that invites nature to be the Muse that guides you to connect with your soul’s wisdom.

To me the door to the woods
is the door to the temple.

-Mary Oliver, Upstream
