CENTRAL: Nature Poems & Storycatching

Space is limited. Please register for this event: eventbrite.com/e/nature-poems-storycatching-tickets-1990672776863?aff=oddtdtcreator
Join us for an immersive session dedicated to "story-catching"—the art of gathering and preserving the personal narratives that strengthen our community. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for everyone, especially those who may feel intimidated by the idea of writing or drawing.
We will meet at the Central Park Library's park side entrance (near the cafe) before the start of the event at 11 a.m.
Our time together will unfold as follows:
Discover: We will begin by exploring the concept of story-catching and how sharing our experiences acts as a regenerative force for connection.
Reflect: Together, we’ll enjoy a shared reading of select nature poems, using them as a springboard to transition from literary inspiration to meaningful personal reflection.
Practice: Using the intuitive INIWIRO framework, you will be guided through a simple process to capture your own stories.
Connect: You will have the opportunity to join small, supportive "story-catching circles" to discuss your experiences and listen to the narratives of others.
Explore: To conclude, our librarians will share curated recommendations for regenerative nature poetry collections available right here in the library, ensuring you leave with plenty of inspiration for your next read.
No prior experience with writing or art is necessary.
