This one is just for adults. Because we need play and creativity and campfires just as much as our kids!
Campfire Gathering is a two-hour session centred on art-making and nature connection—a morning of nature immersion, nourishment, and creative care. We’ll spend unhurried time outdoors, including a short nature walk, sitting by the fire, making, noticing, and following what draws us, without pressure to produce or perform. It’s a chance to reconnect with your own rhythm, alongside others, and take away a few simple practices you can return to.
What’s included
A short nature walk
Nature awareness practices to support grounding and sensory connection
Process-led art-making using natural and provided materials
Shared campfire tending, cups of tea, and simple bush craft skills

Connecting with ourselves, each other and the earth
This workshop provides some space to slow down and listen to yourself and the world around you. No writing experience is required. If you’ve attended previous poetry workshops with us or if this will be your first, we’re so excited to welcome you!
Whether or not you think of yourself as a writer, your voice and words are important and needed, as you speak for the ecology you are.
We invite you into some stillness, into a nurturing experience of being with yourself, in community, and leaning into your ecology and co-creativity. This is an opportunity to allow the streams of words waiting inside you to flow out in a supportive space. We invite you to be alive to your senses and the living breathing world sustaining you.
In this workshop we will be hearing our hearts, hearing our ecologies, hearing each other and speaking some truths together. Perhaps you might come away with a poem you love, and perhaps you might come away with some tools to support some poems to flow freely into the future.
About the facilitators:
Julie and Dan are both experienced writers who treasure the act of writing poetry, most especially in connection with community and nature. As both writing and nature connection facilitators, this workshop brings together our two great loves!
What you’ll get from our workshop:
A chance to slow down and catch your breath during the “silly” season
A two-hour nurturing, creative space carved out just for YOU!
An opportunity to use writing practices to connect with nature, yourself and each other.
Writing Tools to free up the flow of your words into the future
A digital resource guide filled with tips and techniques for nature connection and writing practices to use in your home
You DO NOT need to be a writer.
You WILL need something to write with, and the willingness to try something new…
…a willingness to sink into connection with the world around you
…a willingness to PLAY and CREATE without needing to make a “good” piece of art!
