Into the Green is a healing-focused, writing for wellness and well-being poetry workshop on meditatively connecting with nature. It explores the eco-therapeutic experience with a trauma-informed focus by utilizing poetry, video, sensory imagery, and well-being coping tool techniques with writing prompts. Special emphasis also will be on accessibility and community-inclusive appreciation of local green spaces

In this workshop, participants will engage in imagery coping techniques to connect with nature as a healing modality, explore wellness for well-being writing as art form and as a healing pathway, and lift perceived stigmas and barriers to connecting with natural spaces, and increase, engagement with nature (BIPOC Communities, Elders/Seniors, youth — all communities, Disability accessibility).
