Outside & Unplugged: Nature Writing Workshop

What is your screen time looking like lately? Take an afternoon to unplug and reconnect with nature during a playful writing workshop. In the company of a cedar grove, facilitators with Hoffman Center for the Arts and the Lower Nehalem Community Trust will lead youth participants through a series of interactive and imaginative writing prompts to generate stories and bring focus to our shared sense of place. All youth ages 10 -15 are welcome, no prior experience necessary.

*Terrain: Workshop will be held outdoors in an area accessed by level ground; gravel, tree-rooted paths, grassy clearings. Chairs provided. We will be in areas of sun and shade.
