Join JLM Morton close to the Winter Solstice for a very special workshop exploring thin places that lean into the trouble, places where urban life meets the wild with all of its human and more-than-human detritus.
In this workshop, we will explore entanglements - the idea that humans and nature are intricately interwoven, shaping one another’s lives in ways both visible and unseen. Through a combination of readings, interactive discussions, and reflective exercises, participants will seed new writing and have the opportunity to share work for feedback with others in the group .
This workshop series offers a unique space for a deeper appreciation of our interconnected nature and is open to writers working at any level and in any form.
This workshop series is part of JLM Morton’s residency at Sladebank Woods in 2024.
