EcoWild and Climate Hub - Mindful Nature Creative Writing Workshop with Marchelle Farrell, award winning nature writer.

Rewriting Inner Landscapes: What does it mean to be in mindful relationship with landscape?

How do we notice the ways in which the everyday places through which we move and in which we live profoundly shape us? In this inspiring garden at the heart of Historic Bath, join in a relaxed nature writing session in which we mindfully explore the relationship between our inner and outer worlds, and consider how we might creatively reimagine it.

We will start with a grounding and introduction, then connect with nature in the park, and return to the Pavilion to begin writing. Our time together will end with a gathering to share thoughts and writing.

Marchelle Farrell is an author, and amateur gardener, born in Trinidad and Tobago, but having spent over 20 years attempting to become hardy here in the UK. She has trained and worked as a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist, and is deeply curious about the relationships between our external landscapes and internal ones, the patterns that are re-enacted in the human relationship with the land, and how they might be changed. When not neglecting it for the care of her children, or work in the community, she spends much of her time getting to know her country garden in Somerset, and writing about the things the garden teaches her. Her debut book, Uprooting, won the Nan Shepherd Prize and was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for nature writing.
