Women and nature are often linked in many traditions \;and works of art. For example\, the earth can be describe d as a woman figure with metaphors like "mother nature" with "fertile soil \," emphasizing women's roles as stewards of the land. In this one-hour wo rkshop\, participants will explore eco-feminist essayist Susan Griffin&rsq uo\;s concept of &ldquo\;Nature seeing nature\,&rdquo\; engaging with work from poets like Lucille Clifton\, Mary Oliver\, Chloe Honum\, Camille Dun gy\, Joy Harjo\, and Naomi Shihab Nye\, who explore women&rsquo\;s relatio nship with nature. In parallel\, participants will dive into specific ecol ogical concepts that encourage the community to consider: What does it mea n to be a steward of the land? How do we respond through poetry to contemp orary ecological challenges? These readings and discussions will include w riting prompts to help participants discover their poetic voices.
\nWhile this workshop is focused on women's topics\, all are welcome.
