Rewilding Language: An Eco-Writing Workshop

One of the vital realizations by linguist Edward Sapir is that of linguistic determination—one’s perception is largely determined by the language that one speaks.

In other words, we see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation.

The Archetype of Water: Unleashing Creative Flow

Across cultures, water is seen as a driving element in creativity, desire, and renewal. The archetype of water explored metaphorically helps us see the areas in which we have dam/ned our flow or become stagnant. In this workshop, participants will experience the vitality and aliveness of oceans, rivers, lakes and waterfalls through image, poetry, and expressive writing. As we awaken to the powerful element of water, our authentic creativity naturally springs forth.

Now we root ourselves in a far more ancient way of being—the natural wisdom that arises from the Earth herself, and that lives and breathes within each of us, waiting to be awakened.
