Elements in the city is a multimedia writing and photography reflective workshop designed to reawaken our connections with nature, creativity and mindfulness
How do we experience the natural elements in the city?
This workshop will begin with readings of poetry and a screening of a short film, to invite us to start thinking about the elements that we interact with in the city. This will be followed by a short walk in the garden to engage with natural elements through mindful meditation and foraging/gathering practices. We will then return indoors to reflect, write, photograph and share with each other using interactive prompts accompanied with tea and treats!
