We’re living in a time that trains us in severance—severance from land, from our bodies, our truths, from each other, from the seasons that still move through us anyway.
Earth Intimacies is a writing playshop for those who feel the pull to rejoin the animate web of life—not as an idea, but as a lived, messy, breathing practice.
We’ll gather to write with the season (external and within), bodies, grief, joy, landscapes, and the more-than-human world, letting words move the way life moves: relationally, surprisingly, and unfinished.
Through short ecosomatic grounding, guided prompts, and collective weaving, we’ll practice writing with the web – in particular, writing as return, as reciprocity, and as refuge.
This is not a workshop about fixing the world or yourself, or even writing something ‘good’. It’s a temporary altar for rejoining the animate web of life, with words as one tool/toy.
Come whether you write all the time or haven’t in years; come exhausted, yearning, or curious. There’s no performance here – We’re just practicing being alive together.
No prior writing experience needed—Come as you are; bring a pen, your body, your truths, and open to whatever words might be ready to arrive.
