This event takes place upstairs in Above The Bookshop, 21 Church St, Falmouth TR11 3EG

“YOU ARE NATURE, TOO”

SATURDAY NATURE WRITING WORKSHOP 

How does writing about nature, help us connect with nature?  How can words deepen a sense of belonging in the natural world? 

Join biologist, presenter and writer Gillian Burke for relaxed, discussion-led workshop that explores themes of identity, belonging and kinship with the natural world.  

No writing exercises or previous experience needed — just curiosity and a love of the natural world.

Everyone welcome.
