Mindful Writing in the Garden: A Redbud Writing Experience

Writing is like cultivating the garden of your mind. I wonder what incredible things you’re growing…

In collaboration with Raleigh City Farm and presented by Redbud Writing Project:

Writing is a beautiful way to deepen our understanding of the world around us; It helps us slow down and reflect. In many ways, it’s not that different from gardening only the garden is mental instead of physical. This Thursday, come spend an evening with writer and herbalist Isabel O’Hara Walsh in the beautiful setting of Raleigh City Farm to explore both your local garden and your mental one.

In this workshop, we will mindfully ground ourselves into the space before we spend time observing the plants and writing about what we discover. We will blend writing and mindful practice in activities like meditating, writing, discussing, and sharing together. At the end of a busy summer, it can feel difficult to get our feet under us, and nature is often our best teacher of how to tune back into ourselves. This experience invites you to put down your phone, pick up your notebook, and spend some time smelling the roses—and the wildflowers, and the herbs, and the tomatoes.

Check out Redbud Writing Project to deepen your relationship with writing and find an awesome local community and resource.
