Listening to Place: Spring Ephemerals in the Earles Woodlands

Kansas Land Trust

Connecting with the natural world can provide a wellspring of knowledge and inspiration, enabling us to (re)discover strategies for living in the world, to grieve and heal after loss, and realign our thinking toward kinship, community, and sustainability. In this beginner-friendly nature walk and writing workshop led by poet Megan Kaminski, we’ll engage in deep listening practices to tap into the knowledge shared by the world around us and the often-unheard wisdom already present in our own bodies and spirits. As spring brings us longer days and tender green shoots of new life, we’ll listen to the growth occurring all around us to help us clear out the clutter of last year’s dormant period and make way for new life. Participants should bring something to write (and/or draw) with and on.
