About the Event With the climate crisis ever-looming, it is hard to imagine a future where people have a positive and sustainable relationship with nature and our natural resources. In this workshop, climate artist Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips will lead young writers through a series of guided writing and creative exercises that encourage them to consider their current relationship with the natural world and how their beliefs and actions impact the future. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave equipped to create eco-poetry that is expansive, hopeful and regenerative, allowing them to imagine a healthy, sustainable future for all. Participants must bring an item from nature to the workshop, e.g. a leaf, a rock, a mushroom, a flower.
