X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This workshop will start by guiding partic
 ipants through a basic education in some exciting native Australian plant 
 species and their various cultural\, religious\, and medicinal histories. 
 Those attending will then be taken through some exercises to create their 
 own eco-poetry that is inspired by their relationship with the landscape a
 nd knowledge they may have learnt during the session.</p>\n<p>This worksho
 p invites both new and seasoned poets to be bold and experimental with the
 ir writing in a setting that is relaxed and inclusive. This session seeks 
 to promote the conversation around climate anxiety and how we can use crea
 tive practice as a medium for social activism and ecological change.</p>\n
