This Nature Writing Workshop Manual has been developed as a tool to assist facilitators and/or trainers in conducting workshops which link creative writing with nature. The Nature Writer’s Workshop aims to build a sense of caring and respect amongst people for the environment, creating the ability to see the environment as a source of inspiration and pleasure, to foster an intrinsic appreciation for the wild and to create the desire within all of us to conserve our environment.

The workshop provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature. It gives them a space to reflect and record their experiences in creative ways. This manual provides detailed guidelines for facilitators and/or trainers to conduct such workshops.

For each session, the manual suggest a process for conducting the session, materials needed and makes suggestions on the discussion. However, this Manual is intended to be used as an adaptable resource. Trainers should feel free to go ahead and ‘mix and match’ the modules to suit the specific needs and objectives of the workshop organiser and the participants.
