with Susan Landgraf

Writing the Land® (WTL) is an international project that pairs poets with conserved lands. WTL Workshops now offer the support of this community of skilled poets to all who wish to connect with their lands. Each Writing the Land® workshop is taught by a trained WTL poet using their special expertise and our unique materials to help anyone who wishes to deepen their connection with Nature. Please join us online to help write the land.

About this Workshop

In this 2 hour workshop we’ll use poetry prompts to connect with the land. Join us to explore new tools to tap into your creativity and enhance your relationship with the natural world. Whether you live in a big city or the woods, in a condo or a cabin, the wild is out there. And it’s in us. Big cities have street lights and high rises; they also have raccoons and parks where snakes slitter under the bushes. We don’t sleep in caves and hunt mastodons, but we still rely on our senses – sight, smell, sound, taste, touch. Come find some of the wild places you’ve been – both in nature and in yourself – during this workshop.

1:00-3:00 eastern (10:00am-12:00pm Pacific) online. Sunday, October 11, 2026. Introductory price: $99
